Answer:
ASHVAMEDHA The Ashvamedha, or the "horse sacrifice," is one of the most significant rituals of ancient India. The horse in Indian mythology represents the sun, and the sea is taken to be its stable and its birthplace, since it emerges every day from the primal "waters" surrounding Earth. The Ashvamedha is the sacrifice of the annual renewal of the sun at the New Year and that of the accompanying renewal of the king's rule. At the spiritual level, the celebration evokes a reconnection to the "inner sun." This rite is a great state function in which ritual elements are woven together with secular ceremonies to create an assertion of monarchical authority.
The use of the word "sacrifice," with its common meaning of "killing to offer to God or gods," is cause of much misunderstanding of the Vedic ritual. Vedic yajña (sacrifice) need not involve any killing of animals. It is a highly symbolic performance, and the animals of the sacrifice may be clay images or grains, specific utterances, or a sacred song. When an animal is sacrificed in the ritual, the sacrifice is a mock killing within sacred theater. The word "killing" is described in the texts to apply equally to the pressing of the soma stalks and the grinding of the grain. This is not to say that "animal" sacrifice has never been taken literally in India, but that the normative meaning of the term is symbolic.
