Lakṣa–Koṭi Homa (लक्षकोटिहोमः)
火神阿耆尼在《Yuddhajayārṇava》体系中，宣说一套用于战事护持与巩固王权的护国护军火供（homa）法。章首指出火供能令战场速胜、得国得位、摧破障碍，但强调须先行净化：修持Kṛcchra苦行与严谨的调息（prāṇāyāma）。继而规定预备性的持诵（japa）与息法训练（含种子音bīja等），并详定在已加持圣火中投供的时刻。为保持仪轨清净，行者须守一日一食直至圆满。经文区分规模：ayuta（一万）、lakṣa（十万）、koṭi（俱胝/亿级巨数），并对应果报：小成就、除诸苦恼、以及全面满愿与护佑。又将此法视为平息一切变异凶兆（utpāta）的通用法门，列举旱灾、雨涝、虫害、敌对众类等自然与社会灾厄皆可调伏。末后给出大型仪式的操作细则：择取祭司人数、可用真言体系（Gāyatrī、诸行星/摄曜graha真言、各尊专属真言组）、可投供物（谷物、芝麻、乳、酥油ghee、kuśa草、树叶等），以及火坛坑的尺度建制，显示“阿耆尼之明”（Agneya Vidyā）乃以精密仪式工程护持正法与国政。

Frequently Asked Questions
The chapter emphasizes scalable ritual engineering: counts (ayuta/lakṣa/koṭi), priest selection numbers (20/100/1000), prescribed oblations (grains, ghee, kuśa, leaves), and precise construction measures for the homa-pit (eight hastas for koṭi; half for lakṣa), alongside timing (forenoon offerings) and prerequisites (Kṛcchra + prāṇāyāma).
It integrates outer efficacy (victory, obstacle removal, omen-pacification) with inner discipline (purification vows, regulated diet, prāṇāyāma, mantra-japa), presenting state-protection and personal welfare as dharmic outcomes grounded in sādhana.
