As represented within the greater "Yasna" liturgy, the "Yasna Haptanghaiti" are placed (and recited) between the first and second Gathas. Unlike the Gathas however, which are in verse, the "Yasna Haptanghaiti" is in prose. Analysis of the texts suggests that the hymns of the "Yasna Haptanghaiti" were composed as a discrete unit. The last verse of the last chapter suggests that the seven chapters represent the historical Yasna liturgy, around which the other chapters of the present-day "Yasna" were later organized. In that verse (41.6), the "Yasna Haptanghaiti" is personified as "the brave "Yasna"" and "the holy, the ritual chief."
