Kanda 6

Because it contains many very short (often 1–3 verse) sūktas designed as deployable charms for protection, healing, pacification, and prosperity in domestic and social settings.

Bhaiṣajya material is prominent: expelling toxins and disease, restoring āyus/varcas, and using sacralized waters, herbs, and trees as “living medicines,” often paired with protective expulsions.

Mocana is “unbinding” or release: the hymns seek freedom from bonds of seizure/constraint and from juridico-moral burdens such as enas (guilt/sin) and ṛṇa (debt), restoring purity and auspicious order.
