Those which are performed following the basic pattern of the new and full-moon sacrifice are called kāmyeṣṭi.—According to the analysis of W. Caland, the objectives expected of the kāmyeṣṭis are: progeny, cattle, prosperity, dignity of the Brahmin, gold, the position of royal chaplain, well-being, village, to conquer rivals, sorcery, concord, for one who is cursed, for a dethroned king, to win a battle, longevity, against possession by demons, eyesight, against consumption, rain, expiation of ritual defects, etc. (Caland 1908: VI–VII)
