Hindu Mahabharata and Buddhist Ramayana

UKT 161027: I am intrigued by the fact that most of the Theravada Buddhists in Myanmarpré have never heard of the Hindu epic, Mahabharata (in which Krishna is a hero), even though most are familiar with another Indian epic, Ramayana (in which Rama is a hero). The answer seems to be that Mahabharata is an IE story of the intruders, whilst Ramayana is a Tib-Bur story of the indigenous peoples. The following excerpt throws some light on my suggestion:

40. Vasudeva was called Anakadundubhi because at his birth the gods, foreseeing the birth of Krishna, caused drums (anaka and dundubhi) to resound in heaven.
41. Rama in the Bhagavata Purana stories of Krishna always refers to Balarama, Samkarsana, the brother of Krishna, and has nothing to do with the Rama of the Ramayana.
- Children and childhood in World Religions - ed. D S Browning & M J Bunge, 2009, p275.

The intruders into Ancient India and the indigenous peoples fought a decisive battle in the story of the Battle of Ten Kings, - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Ten_Kings 161027
in which the indigenous people were put to route. One of the losers, King Abhiraza, seemed to have sought refuge in Northern Myanmarpré founding the kingdom of Tagaung as told in Golden Palace Chronicle.

UKT notes

Adhvaryu

- UKT 131204, 140813, 161026

Theravada-Buddhism of Myanmarpré (as generally practiced by the majority of all indigenous natives) have no priests nor priestesses. What we find in Myanmarpré are monks and nuns. There are no female monks. What we have are nuns who are laywomen dressed in special robes observing a higher code of conduct: the Ten Precepts. This is all because Buddhism does not require the presence of a Supreme Being (YHWH, God, or Allah) in its doctrines. In all other religions priests and priestesses are intermediaries between the Supreme Being and humans: the possible exception being Islam.

The reciting the Paritta, and Hindu chants may be similar but not the same. Listen to Mora (Peacock) Paritta (Theravada), and its equivalent the Gayatri Mantra:
¤ Listen to Mora Sutta by Mingun Sayadaw - bk-cndl-Mingun<)) (link chk 161026)
and Gayatri Mantra in Skt-Dev, the "Hindu equivalent" - bk-cndl-gayatri<)) (link chk 161026)

We must note that the ancient Vedas and the modern day versions are different if we take into account the number of hymns dedicated to each deity in Rig Veda. Since there are more hymns directed to Indra, Agni and Soma than to the modern Hindu Trinity, the Mahabrahma, Vishnu and Siva, we can say that the Hindu Trinity is a a later addition. You will see below that as the ritual changes, the roles of the priests also changes. 

You must also note that Vedas are quite different from Vedangas which are described as the limbs of the Vedas. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedanga 140813. Astrology is one of the six Vedanga and is different from the four Vedas. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas 140813

Excerpt from Wikipedia on Vedic Priesthood:
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhvaryu 140813

Priests of the Vedic religion are officiants of the yajna service. As persons trained for the ritual and proficient in its practice, they were called ṛtvij ("regularly-sacrificing"). As members of a social class, they were generically known as vipra ("sage") or kavi ("seer") {ka.wi.}. [UKT ¶]

Specialization of roles attended the elaboration and development of the ritual corpus over time. Eventually a full complement of sixteen ṛtvijas became the custom for major ceremonies. The sixteen consisted of four chief priests and their assistants.

Chief Priests

The older references uniformly indicate the hotṛ as the presiding priest, with perhaps only the adhvaryu as his assistant in the earliest times. The phrase "seven hotars" is found more than once in the Rgveda. RV 2.1.2 enumerates them as the hotṛ, potṛ, neṣṭṛ, agnīdh, prashāstṛ (meaning the maitrāvaruna), adhvaryu and brahman (meaning the brāhmanācchamsin).

• The hotṛ was the reciter of invocations and litanies. These could consist of single verses ( ṛca), strophes (triples called tṛca or pairs called pragātha), or entire hymns (sukta), drawn from the ṛgveda . As each phase of the ritual required an invocation, the hotṛ had a leading or presiding role.

• The adhvaryu was in charge of the physical details of the sacrifice (in particular the adhvara, a term for the Somayajna). According to Monier-Williams, the adhvaryu "had to measure the ground, to build the altar, to prepare the sacrificial vessels, to fetch wood and water, to light the fire, to bring the animal and immolate it," among other duties. Each action was accompanied by supplicative or benedictive formulas (yajus), drawn from the yajurveda. [UKT ¶]

UKT 140814: In Rgvedashita, by H.H.Wison, E.B.Cowell, 1854, p. 077, pdf 112/385, we read:
"3. The two b (priests, the Hotṛi and Adhwaryu ), equal honour, and alike assiduous, labouring mutually for a common object, ..." shows that the two were of equal importance in the beginning.
--- b. Or the two, in both this and the next verse, may refer to the husband and wife associated in the performance of the sacrifice.

Over time, the role of the adhvaryu grew in importance, and many verses of the ṛgveda  were incorporated, either intact or adapted, into the texts of the yajurveda.

• The udgātṛ was a chanter of hymns set to melodies (sāman) drawn from the sāmaveda. This was a specialized role in the major soma sacrifices: a characteristic function of the udgātṛ  was to sing hymns in praise of the invigorating properties of soma pavamāna, the freshly pressed juice of the soma plant.

• The brahman was superintendent of the entire performance, and responsible for correcting mistakes by means of supplementary invocations.

The rgvedic Brahmanas, Aitareya and Kausitaki, specify seven hotrakas to recite shastras (litanies): hotṛ, brāhmanācchamsin, maitrāvaruna, potṛ, neṣṭṛ, agnīdh and acchāvāka. They also carry a legend to explain the origin of the offices of the subrahmanya and the grāvastut.
