Este breve hino de dois versos invoca as divindades duais Agni–Viṣṇu para que transportem e saboreiem a oblação de ghee, assegurando que a oferta seja corretamente conduzida do fogo doméstico à esfera divina. Ao louvar o «nome/caminho secreto do ghee» e pedir que a língua de Agni o transmita para o alto, o sūkta visa garantir a prosperidade doméstica plena, simbolizada como os «sete tesouros» presentes em toda casa onde o rito é realizado.
