The eleventh and final anuvak closes the Chamakam. Through yajna, the devotee asks for wealth, prosperity, right action, and ultimately liberation. The recitation ends with the triple shanti — peace on the divine, physical, and spiritual planes. Sri Rudram, one of the most revered hymns of the Yajurveda, is thus complete.
