Question

A trumpet called a kangling can be created after one of these objects is destroyed by rogyapa and mixed with tsampa flowers. In one ritual, these objects are occupied by a demon called Nasu, and taken (-5[1])by nusessalars to one of three concentric stone rings. Diclofenac-induced decimation of certain birds jeopardizes a Tibetan practice in which these objects are placed on a (10[6])mountaintop. The final step in antyesti involves the destruction of these objects, during which widows would sometimes kill themselves in the practice of (10[1])sati. Zoroastrians place these objects on Towers of Silence to be eaten by (10[1])vultures. For 10 points, name these objects that Hindus often burn in cremation. (10[1])■END■
