Below I will give a list of yajnas and their fruits.

Yajna is a Hindu Vedic ritual in which at a physical level offerings are made to fires during a ceremony  officiated  by priests known as Ritwiks. The sacrificer known as Yajamana expects some sort of result in return.

Yajna is accompanied by the pouring of oblation into ritual fire, the divine Agni.
