Sri Prathyangira Devi Laghu Homa in Sanskrit and English

Sri Prathyangira Devi Laghu Homa Paddhati:

This is a short procedure for those who are interested in performing Śrī Pratyaṅgirā devi homam, but are also heavily constrained by time factors. Those facing very serious issues, should consider performing the longer version to the best of their abilities.

The below procedure is to be followed –

1. Pray to Lord Gaṇeśa, to grant us success in undertaking the homam. Any prayer can be recited or even worshipped mentally.

om̐ gam̐ gaṇapataye namaḥ ।

ॐ गँ गणपतये नमः ।

2. Take a water vessel, place the uddharaṇi spoon inside it. Stir it with a leaf and pray to the trinity lords Brahma, Viṣṇu, Śiva, all the oceans, holy rivers such as Gaṅga, Yamuna, Godāvari, Kṛṣṇa, Kāveri etc. offering mental worship and request their blessings in performing the homam and also to transform the contents of the vessel as holy water. Decorate the Kalaśa water vessel with sandal paste and kuṅkum / red powder. This vessel should now be assigned exclusively for performing tarpaṇa and cannot be used for other purposes.

Close the vessel at its mouth by placing the right palm and recite the following mantra.

आवहयामि त्वां देवि तर्पणायेह सुन्दरि।
एहि गङ्गे नमस्तुभ्यं सर्वतीर्थसमन्विते॥

āvahayāmi tvāṁ devi tarpaṇāyeha sundari ।
ehi gaṅge namastubhyaṁ sarvatīrthasamanvite ॥

Now using aṅkuśa mudra / folding all other fingers except the index finger of the right palm and by touching the water in the kalaśa recite the following bījākṣara-s:

ह्वां ह्वीं ह्वूं ह्वैं ह्वौं ह्वः hvāṁ hvīṁ hvūṁ hvaiṁ hvauṁ hvaḥ

/These bījākṣara-s lead to the expansion and kindling of amṛta bījā, which is recited next

After reciting the above bījākṣara-s, recite वं vaṁ / amṛta bījā seven times. After this, remove the index finger.

At this stage, the water in the kalaśa becomes Gaṅgā water and fully endowed with Divine Nectar. This is a simplified version of consecrating viśeṣa arghya during navāvaraṇa pūjā.

3. Now recite the Gāyatri mantra as below –

om̐ mahaḥ om̐ janaḥ om̐ tapaḥ om̐ satyam
om̐ tat savitur vareṇyam bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yonaḥ pracodayāt
om̐ apo jyotī rasomṛtam
brahma bhūrbhuvassuvarom ।

ॐ महः ॐ जनः ॐ तपः ॐ सत्यम्
ॐ तत् सवितुर् वरेण्यम् भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि
धियो योनः प्रचोदयात्
ॐ अपो ज्योती रसोमृतम्
ब्रह्म भूर्भुवस्सुवरोम् ।

4.Dhyānam / ध्यानम्:

a. Pray to one’s guru –

om̐ gurubhyo nahaḥ ।

ॐ गुरुभ्यो नमः ।

b. Pray to the Divine Mother Śrī Pratyaṅgirā devi and ask Her permission to perform the homam and to bless us with the fulfillment of all our wishes. Now recite the mūla mantra.

om̐ hrīm̐ kṣam̐ bhakṣa jvālā jihve karāladaṃṣtre pratyaṅgire kṣam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phaṭ ।

ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् ।

5. Take some water from the Kalaśa water vessel invoking the vam̐/वँ bīja and sprinkle some water into the Homa Kuṇḍa / Fire vessel.

6. Place akṣata-s, kuṅkum, flowers, sandalwood powder and other fragrances into the Homa Kuṇḍa and recite the below mantra –

śrī pratyaṅgirā devatā homa kuṇḍāya namaḥ ।

श्री प्रत्यङ्गिरा देवता होम कुण्डाय नमः ।

7. Now invoke the following mantras and place akṣata-s on the external edges of all the 8 corners of the Homa Kuṇḍa vessel.

9. Worship the āsana / seat of Lord Agni by invoking the following mantra to complete the āsana pūja / आसन पूज. We are praying to Lord Agni to take a seat in the homa kuṇḍa and remain there until the completion of the homa. –

ram̐ vahnyāsanāya namaḥ ।

रँ वह्न्यासनाय नमः ।

10. We now begin the process of lighting the fire, which is called Agni jvalanam / अग्नि ज्वलनम्:

a. Take a few wood chips, some kuśa grass, cow dung cakes / if available and place them in the homa kuṇḍa vessel.
b. Invoke the “om̐” / ॐ mantra 8 times, followed by the “vam̐” / वँ bīja 3 times. Next recite the “ram̐” / रँ bīja 7 times and invoke the following Agni mantra and meditate upon Lord Agni to descend into the fire that has been invoked.

12. Take a darbha / long grass stalk and dip it in the fire blowing within the homa kuṇḍa and place it inside the ghee / clarified butter container. This constitutes the sanctification of the ghee vessel.

13. Using the smaller sruva ladle, pick up a spoonful of ghee from the right side of the ghee vessel and pour into the homa kuṇḍa with the following mantra –

om̐ āgnaye svāhā ।

ॐ आग्नये स्वाहा ।

20. Now we consecrate the longer Sruk ladle, by taking 4 spoonsful of ghee from the smaller Sruva ladle and pouring the same on the bigger Sruk ladle. Turn the Sruva upside down and place upon the Sruk ladle, with the mouths of the ladles placed upon each other. Then recite the following mantra and make an offering in the homa kuṇḍa –

om̐ vaiśvānara jātaveda ihā vaha lohitākṣa sarva karmāṇi sādhaya vauṣaṭ ।

ॐ वैश्वानर जातवेद इहा वह लोहिताक्ष सर्व कर्माणि साधय वौषट् ।

ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् स्वाहा ।

26. To unite the mouths and harmonize the presence of both Lord Agni and the Divine Mother Śrī Pratyaṅgirā devi, invoked in the homa kuṇḍa, We need to recite the Śrī Pratyaṅgirā devi mūla mantra 25 times and make offerings of ghee with the Sruva ladle. These are called ājvā āhuti-s, meaning selfless offerings, made to the deity.

om̐ hrīm̐ kṣam̐ bhakṣa jvālā jihve karāladaṃṣtre pratyaṅgire kṣam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phaṭ svāhā ।

ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् स्वाहा ।

27. To unite the spiritual channels called nāḍi-s of both the deities, recite the Śrī Pratyaṅgirā devi mūla mantra 11 times and make offerings of ghee with the Sruva ladle. These are also ājvā āhuti-s, meaning selfless offerings made to the deity.

28. Now considering that the Divine Mother Śrī Pratyaṅgirā devi is now fully invoked in the fire, We need to offer the ritualistic upacāra-s such as pādyam, arghyam, ācamanam, puṣpam, gandham, dhūpam, dīpam naivedyam, etc by invoking the below mantras and offering ghee in the homa.

om̐ hrīm̐ kṣam̐ bhakṣa jvālā jihve karāladaṃṣtre pratyaṅgire kṣam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phaṭ svāhā ।

ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् स्वाहा ।

32. Brahmārpaṇa mantra homam / ब्रह्मार्पण मन्त्र होमम् :

Next, we make offerings to Lord Brahma, the Creator with the following mantra –

ॐ तत् सत् इतः पूर्वम् प्राण बुद्धि देहा धर्माधिकार जाग्रत् स्वप्न सुषुप्त्यवस्थासु मनसा वाचा कर्मणायत् स्मृतम् यदुक्तम् यच्चकृतम् तत् सर्वम् ब्रह्मार्पणम् भवेत् भूः स्वाहा ।

33. Devatā bali / देवता बलि :

A pumpkin or a dry coconut, consecrated with kuṅkum, sandalwood paste, can be offered as a bali / sacrifice into the homa kuṇḍa. This will help in removing any obstacles towards achieving the desired results, as a result of the homa. The following mantra is recited and the pumpkin/coconut is dropped into the homa kuṇḍa.

śrī pratyaṅgirā devatāyai balim samarpayāmi ।

श्री प्रत्यङ्गिरा देवतायै बलिम् समर्पयामि ।

34. Pūrṇāhuti / पूर्णाहुति :

A dry coconut, various other materials related to homam and any other pūrṇāhuti related materials are wrapped in a cloth and dropped in the fire. We need to add 12 offerings of the homa dravya / ghee mixed with chillis etc using the smaller sruva ladle unto the larger sruk ladle, place it downward upon the sruk ladle, getting up from the seat, we make the offering and recite the Śrī Pratyaṅgirā devi mūla mantra with svāhā appended and drop the wrapped cloth in the fire.

The following mantras are recited and offerings are made at each of the designated locations.

namaḥ sarva vighna knadbhyaḥ sarvabhūtebhyo hum̐ phaṭ svāhā ।

नमः सर्व विघ्न क्नद्भ्यः सर्वभूतेभ्यो हुँ फट् स्वाहा ।

We need to go around the homa kuṇḍa thrice in a clockwise direction, pick up some ash at the periphery of the homa kuṇḍa, mix with ghee and apply to the forehead.

37. Udvāsana / उद्वासन:

Farewell must be said to the Divine Mother Śrī Pratyaṅgirā Devi and Lord Agni. We must bid farewell and request them to please visit us whenever called upon and shower their grace upon us. Doing so, we offer water from the right hand unto the fire in the homa kuṇḍa. This must be done twice, once for each deity.

Thus ends the homa procedure for Śrī Pratyaṅgirā Devi.
