Sri Prathyangira Devi Laghu Homa Paddhati / श्री प्रत्यङ्गिरा लघु होम पद्धति:
This is a short procedure for those who are interested in performing Śrī Pratyaṅgira devi homam, but are also heavily constrained by time factors. Those facing very serious issues, should consider performing the longer version to the best of their abilities.
The below procedure is to be followed –
1. Pray to Lord Ganeśa, to grant us success in undertaking the homam. Any prayer can be recited or even worshipped mentally.
om̐ gam̐ ganapataye namaḥ ।
ॐ गँ गणपतये नमः ।
2. Take a water vessel, place the uddharani spoon inside it. Stir it with a leaf and pray to the trinity lords Brahma, Visnu, Śiva, all the oceans, holy rivers such as Gaṅga, Yamuna, Godavari, Krsna, Kaveri etc. offering mental worship and request their blessings in performing the homam and also to transform the contents of the vessel as holy water. Decorate the Kalaśa water vessel with sandal paste and kuṅkum / red powder. This vessel should now be assigned exclusively for performing tarpana and cannot be used for other purposes.
Close the vessel at its mouth by placing the right palm and recite the following mantra.
आवहयामि त्वां देवि तर्पणायेह सुन्दरि।
एहि गङ्गे नमस्तुभ्यं सर्वतीर्थसमन्विते॥
avahayami tvaṁ devi tarpanayeha sundari ।
ehi gaṅge namastubhyaṁ sarvatīrthasamanvite ॥
Now using aṅkuśa mudra / folding all other fingers except the index finger of the right palm and by touching the water in the kalaśa recite the following bījaksara-s:
ह्वां ह्वीं ह्वूं ह्वैं ह्वौं ह्वः hvaṁ hvīṁ hvūṁ hvaiṁ hvauṁ hvaḥ
/These bījaksara-s lead to the expansion and kindling of amrta bīja, which is recited next
After reciting the above bījaksara-s, recite वं vaṁ / amrta bīja seven times. After this, remove the index finger.
At this stage, the water in the kalaśa becomes Gaṅga water and fully endowed with Divine Nectar. This is a simplified version of consecrating viśesa arghya during navavarana pūja.
3. Now recite the Gayatri mantra as below –
om̐ mahaḥ om̐ janaḥ om̐ tapaḥ om̐ satyam
om̐ tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yonaḥ pracodayat
om̐ apo jyotī rasomrtam
brahma bhūrbhuvassuvarom ।
ॐ महः ॐ जनः ॐ तपः ॐ सत्यम्
ॐ तत् सवितुर् वरेण्यम् भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि
धियो योनः प्रचोदयात्
ॐ अपो ज्योती रसोमृतम्
ब्रह्म भूर्भुवस्सुवरोम् ।
4.Dhyanam / ध्यानम्:
a. Pray to one’s guru –
om̐ gurubhyo nahaḥ ।
ॐ गुरुभ्यो नमः ।
b. Pray to the Divine Mother Śrī Pratyaṅgira devi and ask Her permission to perform the homam and to bless us with the fulfillment of all our wishes. Now recite the mūla mantra.
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat ।
ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् ।
5. Take some water from the Kalaśa water vessel invoking the vam̐/वँ bīja and sprinkle some water into the Homa Kunda / Fire vessel.
6. Place aksata-s, kuṅkum, flowers, sandalwood powder and other fragrances into the Homa Kunda and recite the below mantra –
śrī pratyaṅgira devata homa kundaya namaḥ ।
श्री प्रत्यङ्गिरा देवता होम कुण्डाय नमः ।

26. To unite the mouths and harmonize the presence of both Lord Agni and the Divine Mother Śrī Pratyaṅgira devi, invoked in the homa kunda, We need to recite the Śrī Pratyaṅgira devi mūla mantra 25 times and make offerings of ghee with the Sruva ladle.

33. Devata bali / देवता बलि:

We need to go around the homa kunda thrice in a clockwise direction, pick up some ash at the periphery of the homa kunda, mix with ghee and apply to the forehead.
37. Udvasana / उद्वासन:
Farewell must be said to the Divine Mother Śrī Pratyaṅgira Devi and Lord Agni. We must bid farewell and request them to please visit us whenever called upon and shower their grace upon us.
