In fire-offerings for these, one should design [the mantras] ending in svāhā. / Having thus recited [the mantra] according to the rule one hundred and eight times,

One should dissolve oneself in the supreme principle that lies beyond speech. / Sitting down again, showing the hand-gesture, one should bow once more.

Such a fire-offering is daily; in occasional rites, it should be doubled. / 'Go, go to the supreme abode where the taintless God resides!

1.12.13

May all deities depart for the sake of remaining in their own abodes.' / Sudarśana, glorious Hari, Acyuta, and that Trivikrama;

1.12.14

the four-armed Vāsudeva, and Pradyumna as the sixth; / Saṃkarṣaṇa, and Puruṣa: this is the ninefold emanation (navavyūha), consisting of ten forms.
