v2.c4.s5.288
A list of the consecrated kings is given in the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa,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 Brāhmaṇa¹⁰ and the Śāṅkhāyana Śrauta Sūtra.¹¹
