Tema ini memohon kemakmuran kepada Indra, agar dhī (rumusan pujian/niat korban) si pelaksana yajña menjadi ‘menang’ dan menghasilkan manfaat nyata—lembu, kuda, hadiah kemenangan, dan para pendukung. Bersama itu Agni dipanggil sebagai penjaga upacara: meliputi seluruh ruang korban, tegak dalam lindungan surgawi, serta membakar dan menghalau Rakṣasa yang mengganggu persembahan, terutama pada malam dan fajar. Dengan pujian yang tepat dan api yang terpelihara, kemenangan Indra dan perlindungan Agni menjadi anugerah yang nyata: keselamatan yajña dan pertambahan rezeki serta kekuatan manusia.

It is an apotropaic request: Agni is asked to repel and neutralize all forces that spoil the rite—fear, impurity, mistakes, or hostile influences—especially during vulnerable times like night and dawn.
