The Nodah Beyehudah was against saying the Shaim Yichud as it appears from the Ritva in Pesachim that the bracha is recited before the performance of the mitzva to indicate the kavona for it. Rebbi Shlomo Kluger ztz’l explains that when money was collected for the king, an announcement was made by saying, this money belongs to king in order it should not be stolen. Mitzvas can be taken away by the chitzonim, so we make an announcement that it belongs to the King, Hashem.
