Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 30
यज्ञोऽसि यज्ञरूपोऽसि यज्ञांगोऽसि रमापते । ततोऽद्य कृपया विष्णो देवानां वरदो भव
yajño'si yajñarūpo'si yajñāṃgo'si ramāpate | tato'dya kṛpayā viṣṇo devānāṃ varado bhava
Engkaulah korban suci itu sendiri; Engkaulah rupa korban suci; Engkaulah anggota-anggota korban suci, wahai Tuhan kepada Ramā. Maka pada hari ini, wahai Viṣṇu, dengan belas kasih-Mu jadilah Pemberi anugerah kepada para dewa.

No specific rite is instructed; the verse frames yajña as a divine principle and offers a prayer for grace.
