11.2.5.1
api ha vā etarhi devebhyo'śvamedhamālabhante tadāhuḥ prākṛto'śvamedha itītara innūnaṃ sa tadvā eṣa evāśvamedho yaccandramāḥ
And, verily, even on this occasion, they slaughter the sacrificial horse (Asvamedha) as a sacrifice to the gods: of this (New and Full-moon sacrifice) they say, 'It is the original (normal) Asvamedha;' and that (real Asvamedha), indeed, is just the other (modified one); for, indeed, the Asvamedha is the same as the moon.
