पूर्णाहुतिःThe full oblation
Verse 55
आदौ मायां समुच्चार्य ततो यज्ञपते वदेत् । पूर्णो भवतु यज्ञो मे हृष्यन्तु यज्ञदेवताः । फलानि सम्यक् यच्छन्तु वह्निकान्तावधिर्मनुः ॥ ५५ ॥
ādau māyāṁ samuccārya tatō yajñapatē vadēt | pūrṇō bhavatu yajñō mē hṛṣyantu yajñadēvatāḥ | phalāni samyak yacchantu vahnikāntāvadhirmanuḥ || 55 ||
Translation
First uttering māyā, he should then say "yajñapate, pūrṇo bhavatu yajño me, hṛṣyantu yajñadevatāḥ, phalāni samyag yacchantu": the mantra reaches as far as the beloved of fire.

Meaning
The mantra of the full oblation, assembled: "hrīṁ yajñapate pūrṇo bhavatu yajño me hṛṣyantu yajñadevatāḥ phalāni samyag yacchantu svāhā": "hrīṁ. Lord of the sacrifice, may my sacrifice be complete; may the gods of the sacrifice rejoice and fully grant its fruits. Svāhā." "The beloved of fire" (vahnikāntā) is again svāhā.
Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
He gives the mantra with which the full oblation is given, "ādau" and the rest, in a verse and a half. First he should say māyā, the seed hrīṁ, then "yajñapate", then "pūrṇo bhavatu yajño me hṛṣyantu yajñadevatāḥ phalāni samyag yacchantu". Put together the mantra is: hrīṁ yajñapate pūrṇo bhavatu yajño me hṛṣyantu yajñadevatāḥ phalāni samyag yacchantu svāhā. This mantra is declared to reach as far as vahnikāntā, that is, to end with svāhā.
