Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
He gives the mantra for dismissing the fire itself, "yajña" and the rest. O Yajña (sacrifice), go to the lord of the sacrifice, Viṣṇu, reach him. O Hutāśana (fire), go to the sacrifice. O lord of the sacrifice, sacrificer, go to your own birthplace, your own place. O lord of the sacrifice and the rest, fulfil our heart's wish, our desire. With "yajña yajñapatim" and the rest, ending "agne kṣamasva svāhā", with this mantra he gives an oblation of curd on the north side of the fire and then, with the same mantra, moves the fire to the south. [Assembled: yajña yajñapatiṁ gaccha yajñaṁ gaccha hutāśana svāṁ yoniṁ gaccha yajñeśa pūrayāsman-manoratham agne kṣamasva svāhā.]
