Āśvamedha-dīkṣā-nirdeśaḥ — Scheduling the Initiation and Assigning Protection for the Horse
व्यास उवाच अनुजानामि राजंस्त्वां क्रियतां यदनन्तरम् । यजस्व वाजिमेधेन विधिवत् दक्षिणावता
vyāsa uvāca | anujānāmi rājan tvāṃ kriyatāṃ yad anantaram | yajasva vājimedhena vidhivat dakṣiṇāvatā ||
ヴィヤーサは言った。「王よ、汝に許しを与える。いまより後に必要なことを進めよ。定められた作法に従い、相応の布施(ダクシナー)を伴って、アシュヴァメーダ祭を執り行え。」
व्यास उवाच
Royal action should proceed under dharmic authorization and be carried out in a regulated way: ritual is not merely power-display but a disciplined duty, completed with proper procedure and generosity (dakṣiṇā) toward officiants and dependents.
Vyāsa addresses the king and formally grants permission to proceed with the next steps—specifically, to undertake the Aśvamedha sacrifice according to prescribed rites and with appropriate gifts, signaling an endorsed transition into post-war royal consolidation and dharmic governance.
