Este himno bhaiṣajya–rakṣā de un solo verso consagra el añjana (colirio/ungüento ocular) declarándolo «bien hecho» (svākta) con la sanción de poderes cósmicos y sacerdotales. Al invocar a Dyāvā‑Pṛthivī, Mitra, Brahmaṇaspati y Savitar como los artífices del remedio, el mantra busca que la preparación sea impecable, eficaz y protectora contra los daños que afectan a los ojos, especialmente la influencia maligna y el mal de ojo.

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.
