The rule is thus the same as that of the Roman Suovetaurilia.

He who does not join in the sacrificial feast ceases to be a member of the community.

And the object of veneration is the same; the Romans venerated and sacrificed the domestic animals which in the pastoral stage had been their means of subsistence.

The Kasars and other occupational castes worship the implements of their profession which are also their means of livelihood, or that which gives them life.

Formerly all these implements were held to be animate, and to produce their effect by their own power and volition.
