RAMAYANA
One day in early summer he thought of performing a horse-sacrifice for progeny. He consulted his religious masters and, on their advice,got Sage Rishya-Sringa to perform the yaaga.
The yaaga was a grand affair and the invitees included many of the kings of the day. It was no easy thing to perform yagaas. The location and erection of the sacrificial platform had to be attended to in detail strictly according to prescribed rules. There were experts whose guidance was sought in arranging things. It meant the building of a new camp-city, capable of accommodating tens of thousands and providing hospitality and entertainment for the invitees who included princes and sages of the land. In short, yaagas in those days were something like our present-day State-sponsored big scale conferences and exhibitions.
When all arrangements were complete the ceremonies were set in motion strictly as enjoined by the Shaastras.

3. చరాచర ప్రపంచాన్నంతా చక్కగా సృష్టింప నేర్చినవాడూ, సరస్వతీదేవి స్వాంతానికి సంతోషం చేకూర్చినవాడూ, వేదాలనన్నింటినీ సమర్థంగా సమకూర్చినవాడూ, నాయకుడై బృందారక బృందాన్ని దిద్ది తీర్చినవాడూ, భక్తుల పాపాలను పోకార్చినవాడూ, దీన జనులను ఓదార్చినవాడూ, తపోధను లందరికీ శుభాలు ఒనగూర్చినవాడూ ఐన మహానుభావుణ్ణి బ్రహ్మ దేవుణ్ణి నేను శ్రద్ధాభక్తులతో సంసేవిస్తున్నాను.
