How to enkindle Agni during homa / yajna

न पाणिना न शूर्पेण न च मेध्याजिनादिभिः ।
मुखेनोपधमेदग्निं मुखादेव व्यजायत ॥ ( देवीभागवतम् )

न कुर्यादग्निधमनं कदाचित् व्यजनादिना ।
मुखेनैव धमेदग्निं धमन्या वेणुजातया ॥ ( आपस्तम्बः )

Agni during homa / havan / yajna should be enkindled by blowing using a bamboo reed with mouth only. Use of hand, fan, winnow or other objects to blow air is prohibited.
