 In Taittiriya Brahmana's Ashwamedha prashna, Ashwamedha is the Yajna that helps Rashtramshwamedhah, (nation-building). This kind of Yajna calls for great atma-samarpana. The horse of the Yagna symbolises every aspect of the King, his prosperity, his power. It is this aspect of Rajatva (kinghood) that helps the Rashtra to prosper. Thus, it is this dedication of the King and the citizens that make RashtraVardhana (nation-building) possible.

The "Ashwo vai prajapatih" (Horse Yajna) is done with the motive of bringing all people together.  <blockquote>"''सन्घ्रन्येस्ह्वयजते ! इमगम् जनतगम् सन्ग्रह्ननिति ||''"</blockquote><blockquote>"''sanghranyeshvayajate ! imagam janatagam sangrahnaniti || '''(REF ??)'''''"</blockquote>The Yajnas rooted in the Vedas have profound meaning at all levels (collective, social, personal) and in all aspects ranging from naimittika Karma to Nitya Karma till Mukti. The Yajurveda terms the fight we undertake for our protection as Dharmic war. Kurukshetra becomes the field of yajna and devatas made Vishnu into the Yajna. From that Vishnu’s left hand, the bow appears and from the right, arrows. The Taittiriya aranyaka says this:

This is the kshatra Yajna (Kshatriya sacrifice). The bow itself became AUM, the atma became shara (arrow), Brahman was the destination and when the arrow (atma) becomes one in consciousness of devotion then Moksha (liberation) is experienced. This is elaborated in the MundakaShruti.
