Agni Purana

यागाग्निशिवयोः कृत्वा नाडीसन्धानमात्मना। शक्त्या मूलाणुना होमं कुर्य्यादङ्गैर्द्दशांशतः

Having established the connection between the sacrificial fire and Shiva by means of the channels within oneself, one should perform the homa with the root and the weapon, offering one-tenth portions with the limbs.

घृतस्य कार्षिको होमः क्षीरस्य मधुनस्तथा। शुक्तिमात्राहुतिर्द्दध्नः प्रसृतिः पायसस्य तु

The oblation of clarified butter is a kārṣika measure; likewise for milk and honey. For curd, the offering is a śukti measure; for rice pudding, a prasṛti measure.

यथावत्‌ सर्व्वभक्षाणां लाजानां मुष्टिसम्मितम्। खण्डत्रयन्तु मूलानां फ्लानां स्वप्रमाणतः

For all edible items, the proper measure is a handful of roasted rice; for roots, three pieces; for fruits, their own appropriate measure.

ग्रासार्द्धंमात्रमन्नानां सूक्ष्माणि पञ्च होमयेत्। इक्षोरापर्व्विकं मानं लतानामङ्गुलद्वयम्

For cooked food, offer half a mouthful; for fine items, five offerings. For sugarcane, the measure is an aparvika; for creepers, two finger-widths.

पुष्पं पत्रं स्वमानेन समिधां तु दसाङ्गुलम्। चन्द्रचन्दनकाश्मीरकस्तूरीयक्षकर्द्दमान्

For flowers and leaves, use their own measure; for fuel sticks, ten finger-widths. For moonstone, sandalwood, kashmir resin, musk, and yak resin—

कलायसम्मितानेतान् गुग्गुलुं वदरास्थिवत्। कन्दानामष्टमं भागं जुहुयाद्विधिवत् परम्

Offer guggulu in a measure equal to kalaya, as with the stone of the jujube fruit; for tubers, offer one-eighth part, properly, as the highest rule.

होमं निर्वर्त्तयेदेवं ब्रह्मवीजपदैस्ततः। घृतेन स्रुचि पूर्णायां निधायाधोमुखं स्रुवम्

Thus, perform the homa with the seed-words of Brahma; placing a full ladle of ghee, with the ladle facing downward.

स्रुगग्रे पुष्पमारोप्य पञ्चाद्वामेन पाणिना। पुनः सव्येन तौ धृत्वा शङ्खसन्निभमुद्रया

Placing a flower at the tip of the ladle, hold it with the left hand; then, holding both with the right hand, form a gesture resembling a conch.

समुद्गतोऽर्द्धकायश्च समपादः समुत्थितः। नाभौ तन्मृलमाधाय स्रुगग्रव्यग्रलोचनः

Rising up, with half the body elevated and feet together, place the flower at the navel, with the tip of the ladle directed toward the eyes.

ब्रह्मादिकारणात्यागाद्विनिः सृत्य सुषुम्‌णया । वामस्तनान्तमानीय तयोर्मूलमतन्द्रितः

Having relinquished the cause beginning with Brahma, draw it out through the suṣumnā; bring it to the left breast, attentively at their root.

मूलमन्त्रमविस्पष्टं वौषडन्तं समुच्चरेत्। तदग्नौ जुहुयादाज्यं यवसम्मितधारया

Recite the root mantra indistinctly, ending with 'vauṣaṭ'; then offer ghee into the fire, in a measure equal to barley.

आचामं चन्दनं दत्वा ताम्बूलप्रभृतीनपि। भक्त्या तद्‌भूतिमावन्द्य विदध्यात्प्रणतिं परं

After sipping water and offering sandalwood, and also betel and similar items, with devotion, honor its glory and perform the highest reverence.

ततो वह्णिं समब्यर्च्य फडन्तास्त्रेण संवरान्। संहारमुद्रयाहृत्य क्षमस्वेत्यभिधाय च

Then, having properly worshipped the fire, using the 'phaṭ' weapon mantra, collect the restraints, and with the gesture of dissolution, say 'Forgive.'

भासुरान् परिधीस्तांश्च पूरकेण हृदाऽणुना । श्रद्ध्या परयात्मीये स्थापयेत् हृदम्बुजे

Place the radiant boundaries, with the breath and the subtle heart, with supreme faith, within the lotus of one's own heart.

सर्वपाकाग्रमादाय कृत्वा मण्डलकद्वयम् । अन्तर्वहिर्बलिं दद्यादाग्नेय्यां कुण्डसन्निधौ

Taking the chief cooked food, prepare two mandalas; offer the bali both inside and outside, near the Agni altar.

ओं हां रुद्रेभ्यः स्वाहा पूर्वे मातृब्यो दक्षिणे तथा। वारुणे हां गणेभ्यश्च स्वाहा तेभ्यस्त्वयं बलिः

Om hāṃ, svāhā to the Rudras in the east, and likewise to the Mothers in the south; hāṃ to the Varuna, and svāhā to the Ganas; this bali is for them.

In the northwest, hāṃ to the Nagas; in the center, hāṃ to the Nakshatras; hāṃ, svāhā to the Rāśis; in the fire, bali to the Viśvas and to the southwest.

वारुण्यां क्षेत्रपालाय अन्तर्बलिरुदाहृतः। द्वितीये मण्डले वाह्ये इन्द्रायाग्नियमाय च

In the west, offer the inner bali to the field guardian; in the second mandala, outside, to Indra and Agniyama.

नैर्ऋताय जलेशाय वायवे धनरक्षिणे। ईशानाय च पूर्वादौ हीशाने ब्रह्मणे नमः

Homage to Nairṛta, to the lord of waters, to Vāyu, the protector of wealth; and to Īśāna at the eastern beginning, to Īśāna, to Brahman, I bow.

नैर्ऋते विष्णवे स्वाहा वायसादेर्वहिर्बलिः। बलिद्वयगतान्मन्त्रान् संहारमुद्रयाऽऽत्मनि

Oblation to Nairṛta, to Viṣṇu, svāhā; an external offering for crows and others; the mantras belonging to both offerings are dissolved with the gesture of dissolution in oneself.

ईश्वर उवाच कपिलापूजनं वक्ष्ये एभिर्म्मन्त्रैर्यजेच्च गाम्। ओं कपिले नन्दे नमः ओं कपिले भद्रिके नमः

Īśvara said: I will explain the worship of Kapilā; with these mantras one should worship the cow: Om, Kapilā, Nandā, salutations; Om, Kapilā, Bhadrikā, salutations.

ओं कपिले सुशीले नमः कपिले सुरभिप्रभे। ओं कपिले सुमनसे नमः ओं भुक्तिमुक्तिप्रदे नमः

Om, Kapilā, Suśīlā, salutations; Kapilā, radiant as Surabhi; Om, Kapilā, Sumanasā, salutations; Om, bestower of enjoyment and liberation, salutations.

सौरभेयि जगन्‌मातर्देवानाममृतप्रदे। गृहाण वरदे ग्रासमीपसितार्थञ्च देहि मे

O Saurabhi, mother of the world, giver of immortality to the gods, accept, O grantor of boons, the offering; grant me the desired object sought.

वन्दिताऽसि वसिष्ठेन विश्वामित्रेण धीमता। कपिले हर मे पापं यन्तया दुष्कृतं कृतम्

You have been worshipped by Vasiṣṭha and by the wise Viśvāmitra; O Kapilā, remove my sin, restrain the evil deed committed.

गावो ममाग्रतो नित्यं गावः पृष्ठत एव च। गावो मे हृदये चापि गवां मध्ये वसाम्यहम्

Cows are always before me, cows are behind me as well; cows are also in my heart, and I dwell among the cows.

दत्तं गुह्णन्तु मे ग्रासं जप्त्वा स्यां निर्म्मलः शिवः। प्रार्च्य विद्यापुस्तकानि गुरुपादौ नमेन्नरः

Let them conceal the offering I have given; having recited, I shall be pure and auspicious; after worshipping, one should bow to the books of knowledge and to the feet of the teacher.

यजेत् स्नात्वा तु मध्याह्ने अष्टपुष्पिकया शिवम्। पीठमूर्त्तिशिवाङ्गानां पूजा स्यादष्टपुषिपिका

One should worship Śiva at midday after bathing, with eight flowers; the worship of the seat, the image, and the limbs of Śiva is performed with eight flowers.

मध्याह्ने भोजनागारे सुलिप्ते पाकमानयेत्। ततो मृत्युञ्जयेनैव वौषडन्तेन सप्तधा
