Meaning
The beloved of fire (vahnikāntā) is svāhā. The commentary assembles it: hrīṁ śrīṁ saumya sarvān kāmān pūraya svāhā, "O gentle one, fulfil all desires". Saumya, "son of Soma", is Budha, Mercury.
Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
"Hrīm" and the rest. First he should say hrīṁ śrīṁ and the word "saumya", then he should say "sarvān kāmān" (all desires). Then at the end of "pūraya" (fulfil) he should say vahnikāntā (svāhā). Put together, hrīṁ śrīṁ saumya sarvān kāmān pūraya svāhā: this is held to be the mantra for Budha, the son of Soma.
