Hayagrīva³, an ancient king. § 628b (Rājadh.): The ancient king H., after having slain a large number of his foes in battle, was himself defeated and slain, being once without a follower at his side. He acquired great fame from the battles he fought. This was his sacrifice, and having completed it by yielding up his life-breaths, he is now sporting in the regions of the gods. He protected his kingdom, performed sacrifices, was possessed of learning, etc. He drunk soma in the sacrifices, gratified the brahmans, etc., therefore he won heaven: XII, 24, 720 (rājarsheḥ).
