Dieser einversige Bhaiṣajya–Rakṣā‑Hymnus weiht Añjana (Kohl/Collyrium, Augen‑Salbe), indem er es kraft der Sanktion kosmischer und priesterlicher Mächte als „wohlgemacht“ (svākta) erklärt. Durch die Anrufung von Dyāvā‑Pṛthivī, Mitra, Brahmaṇaspati und Savitar als die Urheber des Heilmittels soll die Zubereitung fehlerlos, wirksam und schützend werden gegen Schäden, die die Augen treffen – besonders gegen böswilligen Einfluss und den bösen Blick.
It is used to consecrate añjana (collyrium/eye-ointment) so it becomes both a healing aid for the eyes and a protection against harmful influences such as the evil glance.
Naming Dyāvā-Pṛthivī, Mitra, Brahmaṇaspati, and Savitar declares the remedy to be perfected on every level—cosmic stability, moral order, mantra-power, and divine activation—so it is ‘svākta’ (faultless and effective).
Recite the verse over the collyrium as a consecration, then apply a small amount with a clean applicator. Traditionally it is done in the morning or whenever protection of sight is sought.
