Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A Janapadian was the ruler of a Janapada. Some Janapadas became more important and were called mahajanapadas having fortified capital cities. Fortification might be solely for the purpose of protection from other rulers or maybe just a show of power and the riches of the city.
Detailed explanation-2: -In modern days; rulers are chosen through popular vote. But in the janapadas, a ruler was not chosen rather a person was supposed to show his supremacy to become the ruler. To do so, the raja had to perform the ashwamedha yajna so that other rajas in the mahajanapada would accept his supremacy.
