Why do we offer cooked food to Gods?
In Sanskrit, the word 'Dhanya' comes from 'Dhinoti' which means to please the gods. Veda says that grains are very pleasing to the gods. That's why offering cooked food is so important.
What is Adrishtabhaya?
Adrihstabhaya means unexpected danger. It is the name of a curse. Sarama is the female dog of Swargaloka. Her son was beaten up at a yaga- vedi of King Janamejaya. When Sarama confronted Janamejaya and his brothers about this, they could not give any justification for what they had done. Then she cursed them that some unexpected danger would befall upon them.
