A comprehensive prayer for "well-being" (svasti) in all aspects of life. It invokes the Adityas and a multitude of other gods, seeking their watchful protection from sin, disease, and enmity. The hymn envisions safe passage through life's challenges, like an unsinkable divine ship.

Beginning with a rhetorical question about which god to praise, this hymn embarks on a sweeping invocation of nearly the entire pantheon. It calls upon deities from Agni and Ushas to the rivers and mountains, expressing a vast longing for divine comfort, guidance, and well-being.
