| − | It is notable for its mention of a [[Dawnshard]], including a description of its ability to "bind" any creature. It also indicates that the Dawnshard was in the possession of an unknown male entity. It references a temple surrounded by very tall steps built for [[Herald]]s.{{epigraph ref|sa1|36}} |

| − | [[Jasnah Kholin]] includes an excerpt from the poem in one of [[Jasnah's notebook|her notebooks]] while researching [[Voidbringer]]s and [[Urithiru]]. Jasnah finds it curious that Dawnshards are mentioned often in early mythologies, but are largely ignored by modern scholars.{{epigraph ref|sa1|36}} The term "Ista" is not mentioned in the excerpt, and its meaning is unclear. |
