Apte Hindi

Hindi

राजसूयः
पुं*
  राजन्-सूयः - एक बृहद यज्ञ जिसका अनुष्ठान चक्रवर्ती राजा (इसमें सहायक राजा लोग भी भाग लेते हैं) इसलिए करते हैं जिससे कि प्रकट हो कि उनका राजतिलक बिना किसी विरोध के सर्वसम्मति से हो रहा है
जैसा कि 'लक्षसुप्तः' में 'झूठमूठ सोया हुआ।'

Vedic Reference

English

 Rāja-sūya is the name in the Atharvaveda^1 and the later
literature^2 of the ceremony of the ‘royal consecration.’ The
rite is described at great length in the Sūtras, ^3 but its main
features are clearly outlined in the Brāhmaṇas, ^4 while the
verses used in the ceremony are preserved in the Saṃhitās of
the Yajurveda.^5 Besides much mere priestly elaboration,  the
ritual contains traces of popular ceremonial. For example,  the
king is clothed in the ceremonial garments of his rank,  and
provided with bow and arrow as emblems of sovereignty. He
is formally anointed
 he performs a mimic cow raid against a
relative of his
^6 or engages in a sham fight with a Rājanya.^7
A game of dice is played in which he is made to be the victim
^8
he symbolically ascends the quarters of the sky as an indication
of his universal rule
 and steps on a tiger skin,  thus gaining
the strength and the pre-eminence of the tiger.
A list of the consecrated kings is given in the Aitareya Brāh-
maṇa, ^9 where the royal inauguration is called the ‘great
unction’ (mahābhiṣeka) connected with Indra. It corresponds
generally with a list of Aśvamedhins,  ‘performers of the horse
sacrifice, ’ given in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa^10 and the Śāṅkhā-
yana Śrauta Sūtra.^11

 Hillebrandt,  Rituallitteratur,

 Oldenberg,  Religion des Veda, 
472,  491. The relation of the Śunaḥ-
śepa episode formed part of the ritual.
That this points to human sacrifice
having once formed part of the ritual
of the Rājasūya as supposed by Hille-
brandt,  loc. cit.
 Weber,  47
 and Olden-
berg,  366,  n. 1,  seems very doubtful.
