It is an invitation mantra: by sacred speech (brahman) it ‘yokes’ Indra’s tawny steeds and asks Indra to come quickly to the Soma offering.
They are ritual images of Indra’s swift arrival and effective power—symbolizing that the deity is properly ‘harnessed’ and the rite will move forward smoothly.
Its primary function is paustika/saumya: it supports strength, success, and victory by securing Indra’s presence at the Soma—rather than treating a specific disease.
