             From anger comes delusion,
             from delusion comes confusion of memory,
             from confusion of memory comes loss of discrimination,
             from the loss of discrimination a man perishes.
                                                  -Bhagavad Geetaa 2:64
 
 
Pai asks:
 
"Applying a strict desire for a word-to-word translation, then, could
someone please tell me what word was the result of translating
`havir'"?
 
Because his sincerity is apparent, I suggest he consider what oblation
is offered in that fire.                                      ^^^^^^^^
 
Should that not be a sufficient clue, he could always consider in some
schools that oblation is not called offering nor oblation nor butter,
nor ghee, but is instead termed `the full contribution to spiritual
acitivities.'
 
To each His own.
