Having cooked the caru oblation, one should offer it into the sacred fire, with fuel-sticks (samidh), grains, and ghee in their proper portions; and perform the homa with the Raudra Sūkta and the five mantras beginning with Sadyojāta. Thus, through mantra and offering, the rite becomes a direct means of invoking Śiva’s gracious presence.
