这首仅两颂的短歌，是为牛群而设的护佑与兴旺之咒：使母牛在赴牧途中与饮水之处皆得安稳，并加固牛栏与家宅之座。鲁陀罗被祈请为警醒的守护者而非毁灭者；其“飞矢”化作驱邪的护界。又请诸水与慈惠的女神净化、涂膏并坚固牛群，以及牧主的家域。

Frequently Asked Questions
It is used to protect cattle on the way to pasture and at the watering place, and to strengthen the cowshed and household seat through a protective invocation of Rudra and a ghee-sprinkling consecration.
In this hymn Rudra’s fierce power is redirected into guardianship: his “heti” (weapon/missile) is asked to stand around the herd as a deterrent to thieves and hostile forces.
The hymn itself points to clean water (āpaḥ) for purity and ghee (ghṛta) for sprinkling/strengthening; it is performed in relation to the pasture route, watering place, and the cowshed (goṣṭha).
