राजपूजाविधानम् / Royal Reception Protocols during Āśvamedha Preparations
संस्तरे कुशलाश्चापि सर्वकार्याणि याजका: । दिवसे दिवसे चक्रुर्यथाशास्त्रानुदर्शनात्,यज्ञकी वेदी बनानेमें निपुण याजकगण प्रतिदिन शास्त्रोक्त विधिके अनुसार सब कार्य सम्पन्न किया करते थे
saṃstare kuśalāś cāpi sarvakāryāṇi yājakāḥ | divase divase cakrur yathāśāstrānudarśanāt ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。祭場とその備えを整えることに長けた祭官たちは、日ごとに、シャーストラの規定と教示に厳密に従って、あらゆる儀礼を執り行った。ここで語られるのは、アシュヴァメーダのような王者の大祭でさえ、権勢のみならず、規律ある如法の実践と聖なる作法への忠実さによって支えられるということである。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic integrity in ritual life: sacred acts should be performed with competence and, above all, in conformity with śāstric injunctions—regularly, carefully, and without arbitrariness.
During the Aśvamedha proceedings, the officiating priests are described as expertly arranging the sacrificial setup and completing the prescribed ritual duties each day, following the authoritative guidance of the śāstras.
