The Gopatha Brahmana mentions about the assemblage of seven Pakayajnas as below.<blockquote>सायंप्रातर्होमौ स्थालीपाको नवश् च यः । बलिश् च पितृयज्ञश्चाष्टका सप्तमः पशुः ॥ इत्येते पाकयज्ञाः (Gopa.

Some sutras mention them as Pakasamstha (an assemblage, a group) consisting of seven pakayajnas. These yajnas are equivalent in certain cases for example term Sarpabali given by Apastamba is similar to Pratyarohana and Aagrahayani given by other authors. So is the case of Ishanabali which is similar to Shulagava yajna given by Baudhayana.
