This is not a horse sacrifice ritual. The horse returned after one year is not sacrificed. There is no mention of horse sacrifice in Mahabharata where the Aswamedha Yaga is described. 96.248.87.127 (talk) 17:25, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. kemel49^{(connect)(contri)} 18:38, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We know why the world wants to run down Sanatan Dharma and the Hindus, ALL the sources you want must confirm to your bias that it is a blood sacrifice. The laws of KARMA and Rebirth don't care if you believe in them or not, so even if no mortal can touch you but Karmic retribution for supporting falsity and Adharma is severe.

Do not denigrate Ashwamedha Yagna and increase your Karmic baggage

I repeat the above point, even the most powerful of people are subject to laws of Rebirth and Karma, nothing escapes them nor they care if you believe in them or not.

Insufficient pedantry

Shouldn't the article note the etymology of the term, viz., from Skt. aśva and medha?
