5.1.1.12
rājña eva rājasūyam | rājā vai rājasūyeneṣṭvā bhavati na vai brāhmaṇo rājyāyālamavaraṃ vai rājasūyam paraṃ vājapeyam
To the king (râgan) doubtless belongs the Râgasûya; for by offering the Râgasûya he becomes king; and unsuited for kingship is the Brâhmana. And, moreover, the Râgasûya is the lower, and the Vâgapeya the higher (sacrifice).
