homa

I will perform a homa (burnt sacrifice) and verily believe that it will have the desired effect.

All the fragments of the herbs which had been provided for Homa were then ground into powder.

Sarpa homa is the name given to the somewhat elaborate ceremony of snake-worship.

And o'er sacred rights of homa Brahmans chant their mantra high, There is heard the jackal's wailing and the raven's ominous cry!
