Educational Q&A

The verse underscores that a royal sacrifice gains legitimacy and auspicious power when it is upheld by dharmic authorities (vipras) and witnessed by exalted beings (siddhas). Ethical kingship is portrayed as requiring public, learned, and spiritually elevated sanction—not mere display of power.

Vaiśampāyana describes the scene of the yajña-maṇḍapa: it is crowded with wondrous semi-divine beings (Kiṃpuruṣas and Kiṃnaras) and surrounded on all sides by the residences of Siddhas and Brahmins, emphasizing the grandeur and sanctity of the Ashvamedha setting.
