Following the instructions of the great sage Aurva, Sagara Mahārāja performed aśvamedha sacrifices and thus satisfied the Supreme Lord, who is the supreme controller, the Supersoul of all learned scholars, and the knower of all Vedic knowledge, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But Indra, the King of heaven, stole the horse meant to be offered at the sacrifice.

Translation
Following the instructions of the sage Aurva, by horse sacrifices Sagara Mahārāja worshipped the Lord who is the supreme controller, who is the soul of the Vedas, the soul of the devatās, and the soul of all beings. But Indra stole the sacrificial horse.
