Este hino bhaiṣajya–rakṣā de um só verso consagra o añjana (colírio/pomada para os olhos), declarando-o «bem feito» (svākta) sob a sanção de poderes cósmicos e sacerdotais. Ao invocar Dyāvā‑Pṛthivī, Mitra, Brahmaṇaspati e Savitar como os autores do remédio, o mantra visa tornar a preparação irrepreensível, eficaz e protetora contra males que atingem os olhos — sobretudo a influência maligna e o mau-olhado.

Recite the verse over the collyrium as a consecration, then apply a small amount with a clean applicator. Traditionally it is done in the morning or whenever protection of sight is sought.
