The ''[[Yashts]]'' comprises 21 hymns, each of which is dedicated to individual [[Yazatas|Zoroastrian divinities]] and connected with a specific day of the [[Zoroastrian calendar]].{{sfn|Hintze|2014}} The collection is extant through the E1 and F1 manuscripts, dating back to 1601 and 1591, respectively. Already in the E1 manuscript, the ''Hom Yasht'' was listed as the 20th ''yasht''. Most of the ''yashts'' were originally part of the ''[[Bagan yasht]]'', one of the, now lost, volumes of the [[Sasanian Avesta]]. However, according to the notes in the E1 manuscript, the ''Hom Yasht'' was not, meaning it must have been drawn from another source.{{sfn|Kotwal|Hintze|2008}} Due to its shortness and perceived lack in poetic quality, the ''Hom Yasht'' is grouped into the so called ''Minor'' or ''Apotropaic Yashts''.
