Number of Ahutis

Question: What are the number of 'Ahutis' prescribed for various types of Anusthans?

Ans:

In ancient times, it was convenient to oblate one tenth of the total number of Jap s in the Havan in an Anusthan . In the present circumstances, it is sufficient to offer one hundredth number of 'Ahutis'. The number thus amounts to :- (a) Small Anusthan - 240 Ahutis. (b) Medium Anusthan - 1250 Ahutis. (c) Big Anusthan - 24000 Ahutis. The number may however, be varied depending on circumstances.
