A Sanskrit term used for animal sacrifice is bali, in origin meaning "tribute, offering or oblation" generically. Bali among other things "refers to the blood of an animal" and is sometimes known as Jhatka Bali among Hindus.
The Kalika Purana distinguishes bali (sacrifice), mahabali (great sacrifice), for the ritual killing of goats, elephant, respectively, though the reference to humans in Shakti theology is symbolic and done in effigy in modern times. the main aim is sacrificial animals listed in verse 19 are symbols for the six enemies, with "man" representing pride.
