Yupa found as an octagonal pillar in Binjor, has, according Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, as a ketu, proclamation of Soma Yaga, has to have a caṣāla on top. The word has two meanings: 1.hieroglyph snout of boar; 2. wheat chaff. When the Yupa Skambha, becomes a fiery pillar, the fumes of wheat chaff enter into liquid metal infusing a new element, carbon (angaraka). This transforms iron (liquid metal) into steel. To signify this knowledge system the snout of the boar shows Sarasvati, veena player in a temple calle Khajuraro Varāha embellished all over the body, with over 700 sculptural friezes of sages, devata-s and elders. caṣāla of a fiery skambha is thus a breath-taking metaphor, a knowledge system related to transformation processes in fire, agni, of dhatu 'minerals'. I call this Varāha, the temple of Sarasvatī.
