In the Pali Canon, the Buddha uses many Brahmanical devices. For example, in Samyutta Nikaya 111, Majjhima Nikaya 92 and Vinaya i 246 of the Pali Canon, the Buddha praises the Agnihotra as the foremost sacrifice and the Gayatri mantra as the foremost meter:
aggihuttamukhā yaññā sāvittī chandaso mukham.
Sacrifices have the agnihotra as foremost; of meter the foremost is the Sāvitrī.[102]
Paralleling Brahmanical developments, the Buddha used the language of the three-fire Śrauta system to shift the emphasis of practice to inner purity and sacrifice, instead of outer purity and sacrifice.[103]
