Sūta said: In the north-east the Pradhāna is sung in the Pañ-cama note. Thereafter, seven articles are to be consigned to fire by way of Homa—viz.:—the sacrificial twigs, ghee, caru, fried grains, mustard, barley and gingelly seeds, repeating Oṃ at the outset and Svāhā in the end. O brahmin, their concluding Homa is performed by means of Īśāna mantra.
