தவமும் வேதவித்தையும் கொண்டு ஒளிரும் பிராமணரின் அக்னியில் செலுத்தும் ஹோமம், தடைகளின் கூட்டத்திலிருந்தும் கடக்க அரிய பாபக் கடலிலிருந்தும் கூட கரை சேர்க்கும்.

Scene: A radiant brāhmaṇa-sage, surrounded by a subtle aura of firelight, receives offerings; the flames appear as spiritual brilliance; behind, a symbolic ocean of darkness (sin) is crossed by a luminous bridge of fire.
Supporting a brāhmaṇa endowed with tapas and vidyā is portrayed as a powerful purifier that removes obstacles and sins.
The teaching belongs to the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s Kāśī context, where meritorious acts are celebrated as especially liberating.
Homa/oblation—making a huta (offering) into the purifying fire associated with a learned, austere brāhmaṇa.
