The Sarvamedha sacrifice or All sacrifice is one of the Ahina types of Soma sacrifice, executed by one who wants to fulfill his all desires or all types of achievements. This sacrifice is also performed for the sake of gaining and winning every kind of food^[1]. The 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 厂惫补测补峁僢丑耻 performed this sacrifice for the first time. He offers his own self in the creatures, and the creatures his own self in to him (叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 厂惫补测补峁僢丑耻). And thus, by offering up his own self in the creatures, and the creatures in his own self; he compassed the supremacy, sovereignty and attains the lordship over all creatures. Hence, the sacrificer by offering all sacrificial essences in the Sarvamedha sacrifice, surpass all being and attains supremacy, sovereignty and lordship^[2]

Ritual procedure of the Sarvamedha sacrifice as prescribed in the 艢补迟补辫补迟丑补 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺:

The Sarvamedha sacrifice consists of ten days. In the first day 础驳苍颈峁ａ弓耻迟 础驳苍颈峁ａ弓辞尘补 is performed for the sake of gaining and winning all the Gods, because the 础驳苍颈峁ａ弓耻迟 础驳苍颈峁ａ弓辞尘补 is Agni and all the Gods have Agni (the sacrificial fire) for their mouth^[3].

In the second day there is Indrastut Ukthya, for the sake of gaining and winning all the Gods, for Indra is all the Gods^[4].

The third day is a 厂奴谤测补stut Ukthya, for the sake of gaining and winning all the Gods, for 厂奴谤测补 is all the Gods^[5].

In the fourth day, there is 痴补颈艣惫补诲别惫补, for the sake of gaining and winning all the Gods, for Vi艣ve Dev膩岣� are all the Gods^[6].

In the fifth and in the sixth day there is central 础艣惫补尘别诲丑颈办补 and central 笔耻谤耻峁�a尘别诲丑颈办补. At this sacrifice the sacrificer seizes man and horse for the sake of gaining the sacrificial essence of the horse and man^[7].

The sacrificer also offers every kind of food both the dry and the fresh in order to gain every kind of food^[8].

In the eighth day a 罢谤颈峁嘺惫补 峁ａ弓辞尘补 is performed, for 罢谤颈峁嘺惫补 is thunderbolt and by means of the thunderbolt, the sacrificer gains lordship^[9].

In the ninth day there is a 罢谤补测补蝉迟谤颈峁兣沘 one for the sake of gaining a foot hold for the 罢谤补测补蝉迟谤颈峁兣沘 (峁ａ弓辞尘补) is a foot hold.

Sacrificial fees:

The sacrificial fees as prescribed for the Sarvamedha sacrifice is alike that of the 笔耻谤耻峁�a尘别诲丑补 sacrifice, which are as follows-whatever there is towards the middle of the kingdom other than the property of the 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺, but including land and man of that of the eastern quarter belongs to the 贬辞迟峁�, the southern to the 叠谤腻丑尘补峁�, the western to the Adhvaryu and the northern to the 鲍诲驳腻迟峁�, and the 贬辞迟峁沰as share this along with them.

The Sarvamedha sacrifice and its relation to Monarchy or kingship:

We have already discussed that in the Sarvamedha sacrifice the sacrificer offers all sacrificial essences and compass all being and attains supremacy sovereignty and lordship. This sacrifice is regarded as the supreme of all sacrifices, as by performing this sacrifice the sacrificer attain supremacy. In the 艢补迟补辫补迟丑补 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 it is mentioned that the 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘补苍 Bhauvana once performed this sacrifice, and having performed this sacrifice he overpass all beings and became everything^[11]. As a matter of fact, the Sarvamedha sacrifice is an exceptional sacrifice executed by emperors who are already to ruler ship. This ceremony proves the existence of the territorial ideal of a one state.

The Sarvamedha sacrifice is a universal sacrifice and is performed for the attainment of universal sovereignty. We have already come across the reference that in the eighth day 罢谤颈峁嘺惫补 峁ａ弓辞尘补 is performed for the attainment of lordship or 办峁�a迟谤补. Hence, by performing this sacrifice one attains universal sovereignty, as 鈥�sarva鈥� means 鈥榓ll鈥� and by performing this sacrifice one attains all or wins all.
