After completing prescribed/decided (saṃkalpakalpita – संकल्पकल्पित) number of oblations to the main deity, uttarāṅga or final part of the homa procedure is to be performed. Final part has two subdivisions. The first subdivision is known as जयादिहोमम् jayādihoma, which means the concluding part meant for stabilisation of the main homa. There are 53 oblations for different gods and goddesses in jayādihoma. Almost all these oblations are taken from Kṛṣṇa Yajur Veda. These oblations are meant to please and thank both important gods and goddesses and titular deities. Each one of them represent certain aspects of creation and sustenance of the universe. The second subdivision is the concluding process of the entire homa procedure and this concluding part is known as प्रोक्षणान्तम् prokṣaṇāntam, which means the final part of the homa procedure, which is concluded by sprinkling of waters on the one who performs the homa (generally called yajamāna).
Before commencing jayādihoma, prāṇāyama should be done. Following are the jayādihoma oblations. All oblations are to be done with small dharvi.
A small saṅkalpa is be made like this.
