Answer 2

The growing importance of sacrifices in the vedic society resulted in the growing importance of priest as well. The ritual of sacrifice also lead to the growth and development in the knowledge of mathematics and animal anatomy. Elementary Mathematics was necessary to make the calculations which were required to establish the position of various objects of the sacrificial area also, the frequent sacrifices of animals led to the knowledge of their anatomy that for the vedic people, the world give out of a vast cosmic sacrifice and was not maintained by the proper performance of sacrifice. Religion was not based on magical ritual formula, rather it stressed direct communication with the Gods through sacrifices etc.

Gods were not worshipped for the spiritual upliftment of the people not for any other abstract philosophical concept, but were invoked to grant material gains. Sacrificial religion is a religion of the pastoral people. Animal sacrifice is rampant in the pastoral society, where the older animals who can no longer produce milk or meat, are used for breathing purposes, are killed in order to lessen the burden on on their own.

Hence animal sacrifice was one way of destroying the old animals and thus had an important role in the society in the agrarian society however older animals are employed in the fields, used for transactions purposes and hence the destruction of animals is frowned upon by a society which primarily depends on agricultural activities.

Thus the vedic religion reflected the patriarchal pastoral society and was materialistic in perspective.
