Himne satu-mantra ini ialah doa śānti yang ringkas, yang menyucikan sarana teknikal korban—Veda/pengetahuan, alat pembelah kayu, kapak, dan ruang altar—agar tiada kecacatan atau kemalangan timbul dalam persiapan. Dengan berulang kali menegakkan “svasti” (keselamatan yang mujur) pada peralatan dan vedi, ia mengurangkan risiko upacara dan berakhir dengan permohonan langsung agar para dewa yang mengasihi yajña menerima serta menikmati persembahan itu.
