Offer a mixture of rice, milk, various kinds of food, cooked grains, khova (mawa), sweet and ripe bananas, all in a quantity equal to a *beheda* (a unit of measurement), in a *sucha-chaatu* (a type of offering vessel) and perform the *homa* (fire ritual). ||144||
If rice is not available, offer rice, medicinal herbs, milk, yogurt, ghee, sugar, or fruits in a *srucha* (a ladle used for offering) and perform the *homa*. ||145||
While performing the *homa*, hold the offering material in the palm of your hand, with your fingers closed together, press it with your thumb, raise your hand, and offer it into the fire while chanting the mantra. ||146||
**Offering to the Dikpalas (Guardians of Directions)**
Mix one *prastha* (a unit of measurement) each of chickpeas, black gram, green gram, wheat, rice, barley, and sesame seeds. Offer these seven grains separately, one handful at a time, into the fire pit for the pacification of the malefic planets. This is called *korannahuthi*. Performing this ritual removes obstacles and hindrances caused by the malefic planets. ||147||
**Homa for the Nine Planets**
Chant the mantras of the nine planets while filling a pot with water. Offer seven handfuls each of sesame seeds, rice, barley, and other grains into the water.
