It asks Agni to carry the worshipper across every hard passage (durgāṇi) and to place them safely beyond misfortunes (duritāni).
Because Agni is invoked as the power that destroys or burns away the causes and residues of distress—danger, ill-omen, and harmful forces—so that safety (kṣema) is restored.
No. The primary medium is fire (Agni) and the uktha (solemn recitation). A small ghee offering or clean kindling can be added, but the hymn is designed to work as a direct protective invocation.
