The text is used at the sūt khwan ceremony. Sūt khwan is to chant for recalling for one’s spirit. Khwan is an invisible thing but believed it is in existence with one’s body since at birth. When the khwan is with the body, the one is auspicious with health and steady mind. If the one is frightened called loss of the spirit that means the spirit is out of the body, the one is inauspicious with sickness and unsteady mind.
