the animal and immolate it," among other duties.[citation needed] Each action was accompanied by
supplicative or benedictive formulas (yajus), drawn from the yajurveda. 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.[citation needed]
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

We see that Brahmin was not one of the Aryan priest names. It appears in Rig Veda tenth
Mandala which was added much later in history where a parallel with Avestan hierarchy is defined
where we come across Brahmin as the head instead of the Athorman priest in Zorastrianism.
“As compared with by far the largest part of the hymns of the Rigveda, the Purusha Sukta has every
character of modernness both in its diction and ideas. I have already observed that the hymns
which we find in this collection (Purusha Sukta) are of very different periods”
— John Muir,
“That the Purusha Sukta, considered as a hymn of the Rigveda, is among the latest portions of that
collection, is clearly perceptible from its contents”
— Albrecht Weber,
Here is the Zorastrian hierarchy;
"The dignity of the head in the human body is (allotted) to the profession of Athornan; of the hand,
to the profession Arthestar; of the belly, to the profession of Vastariush; and of feet, to the
profession of Hutokhsh: thus, it is symbolically shown, that in rank and dignity, the profession of
Athornan is as the head of the world; the profession of Arthestar is as the hands of the world; the
profession of Vastariush is as the belly of the world; and, the profession of Hutokhsh is as the feet
of the world./ ( Denkard Bk.3-Chp.42)
“When they divided Purusa how many portions did they make? What do they call his mouth, his
arms? What do they call his thighs and feet? The Brahman was his mouth, of both his arms was
the Rajanya made. His thighs became the Vaisya, from his feet the Sudra was produced” Rig Veda
