Book Summary
This essay describes the Asvamedha rite and its symbolism to explain distinctive
aspects of the Vedic sacrifice system. This rite has three important functions:
(i)it presents an equivalence of the naksatra year to the heaven, implying that
it is a rite that celebrates the rebirth of the Sun; (ii)it is symbolic of the
conquest of Time by the king, in whose name the rite is performed; and (iii) it
is a celebration of social harmony achieved by the transcendence of the
fundamental conflicts between various sources of power.
