²⁶⁴⁷ राजा राजसूयेन यजेत। लाट्यायनश्रौत IX. 1. 1, सत्याषाढ (XIII. 3) adds स्वर्गकामो before यजेत. Vide Āp. XVIII. 8. 1, Kāt. XV. 1. 1; राजसूयेन स्वाराज्यकामो यजेत quoted by Śabara on Jai. XI. 2. 12; Śāṅ. XV. 13. 1 after narrating that Varuṇa secured super-eminence, complete dominion and overlordship by performing it states तथो एवैतद्यजमानो यद्राजसूयेन यजते सर्वेषां राज्यानां श्रैष्ठ्यं स्वाराज्यमाधिपत्यं पर्येति। The word राजसूय is derived by Śabara as 'राजा तत्र सूयते तस्माद्राजसूयः। राज्ञो वा यज्ञो राजसूयः' (on Jai. IV. 4. 1). Soma is called rājan.
