The Ashvamedha (Sanskrit: अश्वमेध 
aśvamedhá; "horse sacrifice") was one of the most important royal rituals 
of Vedic religion, described in detail in the Yajurveda (TS 7.1-5, VSM 22–25[1] 
and the pertaining commentary in the Shatapatha Brahmana ŚBM 13.1–5). The 
Rigveda does have descriptions of horse sacrifice, notably in hymns RV 
1.162-163 (which are themselves known as aśvamedha), but does not allude 
to the full ritual according to the Yajurveda.
