From a pot of ghee, one should pour a continuous stream of wealth (vasordhārā) over the fire. Having made an udumbara [wooden ladle] resembling a sruva ladle, moist, straight, free of hollows, and one cubit in length, he should then pour the stream of ghee properly over the fire with both of them. He should also have [the priests] recite the auspicious hymn (śamyuvāka), the hymn to Agni, to Viṣṇu, to Rudra, to Soma, and the great Vaiśvānara chant. Of the nine [verses beginning with] ‘agnim īḷe’, the seer is Madhucchandas, the deity is Agni, and the meter is gāyatrī. Of the six [verses beginning with] ‘viṣṇor nu kam’, the seer is Dīrghatamas, the deity is Viṣṇu, and the meter is triṣṭubh. Of the ten [verses beginning with] ‘svādiṣṭhayā’, the seer is Madhucchandas, the deity is Soma, and the meter is gāyatrī. Of the great Vaiśvānara chant, Vaiśvānara is the seer and the deity, and the meters are jagatī and bṛhatī. Of the senior chant (jyeṣṭhasāman) [beginning with] ‘mūrdhānaṃ divaḥ’, the seers are the two Bharadvājas, the deity is Vaiśvānara, and the meter is triṣṭubh. And the bath and svastivācana of the sacrificer are as before. Dakṣiṇās are to be given in sequence by the sacrificer as before. Likewise, ten or eight officiating priests should be engaged in the lakṣahoma according to one's capacity, or four who are free from jealousy. One should give everything tenfold in excess of the nine-planet sacrifice in the lakṣahoma; and, O best of sages, one should also give ornaments according to one's capacity. Here, gifts should be given according to capacity by one desiring prosperity: one brāhmaṇa for every hundred offerings, or one for every thousand—such is the meaning. As for the fruit: He is worshipped in the world of Śiva by the hosts of Vasus, Ādityas, and Maruts; having spent eight hundred cosmic ages (kalpa) there, he then attains liberation. But one with desires who performs this lakṣahoma according to the rules attains all desires and enjoys an eternal state. One desiring a son obtains a son; one desiring wealth obtains wealth; one desiring a wife obtains a wife; and an unmarried girl obtains an auspicious husband. One who has fallen from kingship obtains kingship, and one desiring fortune obtains fortune. Whatever desire he wishes for, that he fully obtains. But one who performs it without desire reaches the supreme Brahman and beyond. Thus the lakṣahoma. Now the koṭihoma, in the Matsyapurāṇa: ‘The koṭihoma is proclaimed by the Self-born to be a hundred times greater than this;
