مديحٌ أَيْندريٌّ يبتغي رضا إندرا والتقدّم الجماعي، مقرونٌ بابتهالاتٍ إلى فاتا للشفاء ونَفَسِ الحياة. تُجعل القرابينُ والثناءُ وسيلةً لنيل السوماتي (حُسن القصد/الرضا الإلهي) والقوّة الاجتماعية للـ«فيشَه» (جماعات العبادة/القبائل). يُدعى إندرا بوصفه المُعظِّمَ والحامي العظيم ليقبل القرابين ويهب القوّة وطول العمر و«تجاوز» الأخطار. ويُستدعى فاتا، حاملُ البرانا، ليصون النَّفَس ويُبرئ ويمنح «الأمرتة» المستترة—جوهرَ البقاء المُغذّي—لدوام الجيفانا (الحياة).
