राजपूजाविधानम् / Royal Reception Protocols during Āśvamedha Preparations
स किंपुरुषसंकीर्ण: किंनरैश्वनोपशोभित: । सिद्धविप्रनिवासैश्च समनन््तादभिसंवृत:
sa kiṃpuruṣasaṃkīrṇaḥ kiṃnaraiś caivānupaśobhitaḥ | siddhavipranivāsaiś ca samanantād abhisaṃvṛtaḥ ||
毗舍摩波耶那说道：那座祭亭人潮涌动，尽是金布鲁沙（Kiṃpuruṣa），其光彩又为金那罗（Kiṃnara）所增。四面皆有悉达（Siddha）与婆罗门的居处环绕，将祭场层层围护——昭示此礼既为天界成就者所见证，亦为通达法度的学者所扶持。

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.
