राजपूजाविधानम् / Royal Reception Protocols during Āśvamedha Preparations
तस्मिन् सदसि नित्यास्तु व्यासशिष्या द्विजर्षभा: । सर्वशास्त्रप्रणेतार: कुशला यज्ञसंस्तरे
tasmin sadasi nityāstu vyāsaśiṣyā dvijarṣabhāḥ | sarvaśāstrapraṇetāraḥ kuśalā yajñasaṃstare ||
毗舍摩波耶那说道:在那祭会之中,毗耶娑的弟子——诸位最上等的两生者——恒常在座。他们是诸经论(śāstra)的权威阐释者,亦善于在祭地上铺陈、安排并主持仪轨,使祭祀依于法(dharma)而循于正则。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse underscores that major rites must be grounded in śāstra and guided by qualified teachers: learned Brāhmaṇas, trained in tradition, safeguard dharma by ensuring correct procedure and interpretation.
Vaiśaṃpāyana describes the sacrificial assembly connected with the Aśvamedha context, noting that Vyāsa’s eminent disciples are continually present, serving as expert authorities who manage and supervise the yajña’s arrangements and ritual conduct.
