Cet hymne bhaiṣajya–rakṣā d’un seul vers consacre l’añjana (collyre/onguent pour les yeux) en le déclarant « bien fait » (svākta) avec l’aval de puissances cosmiques et sacerdotales. En invoquant Dyāvā‑Pṛthivī, Mitra, Brahmaṇaspati et Savitar comme les artisans du remède, le mantra vise à rendre la préparation irréprochable, efficace et protectrice contre les atteintes qui frappent les yeux — surtout l’influence maligne et le mauvais œil.

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.
