Bhadrāsana was a royal seat and it was also called Bhadrapīṭha. In the ceremonious ablutions, the king sat on a Bhadrāsana placed over the skins of certain animals (Shastry, 1969, p 254). It appears from the Rāmāyaṇa (II.26.17) that it was a sign of royalty and carried by an attendant in front of the king (Raghu, XVII. 10).
