lotta contradictions in this purana. sometimes sacrifices are considered excessive and violent, other times theyre celebrated. I doubt any of those horse killers in the past were reincarnated as Indra.

its not just a king vs commoner thing either. sacrifices are frequently denigrated like all vedic ritualism that seeks selfish material boons, and as such it is contrasted with pure bhkati. and its not infrequently especially so denigrated because of its violence. but here its promoted. I'm sure commentators would say its different because he offered up all the fruits of his actions to krishna instead of desiring selfish reward. but still.
