Explanation:

The Ashvamedha yajna was an important ritual mentioned in the vedic literature. lt was performed by a king to demonstrate and establish his power. In this ritual,ahl horse was let loose to wander in any direction freely for about a year. The territory, in which the horse was let to pass without any obstruction, would come under the rule of the king performing the yajna. If the horse was stopped at any of the kingdoms, a war was fought between the ruler of the kingdom and the king performing the yajna to decide who gets to rule the kingdom. Many rituals followed on the return of the horse and power and authority of the king was established.
