य ईजे हयमेधानां शतेन विधिवत प्रभु: । याजयामास यं विद्वान्‌ स्वयमेवाड्िरा: प्रभु:,उन प्रभावशाली नरेशने विधिपूर्वक सौ अश्वमेध यज्ञोंका अनुष्ठान किया था। साक्षात्‌ विद्वान प्रभु, अंगिरा मुनिने ही उनका यज्ञ कराया था

Transliteration

ya īje hayamedhānāṁ śatena vidhivat prabhuḥ | yājayāmāsa yaṁ vidvān svayam evāṅgirāḥ prabhuḥ ||

Translation

Vyāsa said: That mighty ruler duly performed a hundred Aśvamedha sacrifices. The learned and venerable sage Aṅgirā himself served as the officiating priest and caused those rites to be carried out—signifying the king’s adherence to prescribed dharma and the legitimizing authority of Vedic ritual under a true knower of the tradition.
