Este himno paustika de un solo verso funciona como una plegaria de «autorización divina» (saṃkalpa-siddhi): cualesquiera ganancias que los dioses ya hayan obtenido o descubierto para el sacrificante, se pide que sean concedidas formalmente y hechas estables. Savitṛ, poder del recto ordenamiento y del consentimiento que impulsa, es invocado —junto con Prajāpati y Anumati— para «afianzar» la prosperidad, el éxito y los resultados auspiciosos.
