Vedic Reference
EnglishRāja-pitṛ is one of the titles given to the king in the rite of
the Rājasūya (‘royal consecration’) according to the Aitareya
Brāhmaṇa (viii. 12, 5
17, 5). It probably designates the king
as ‘father of a king, ’ and indicates the hereditary character of
the monarchy. Possibly the later plan^1 of associating the
king's son in the monarchy prevailed in earlier times also.
1) Hopkins, Journal of the American Oriental Society, 13, 139. The sense of ‘having
a king as father’ is also possible.
