Rig Veda 1.142.12: Mandala 1, Sukta 142, Mantra 12

Sukta 1.142

Rishi: Dīrghatamas Āucathya (traditional for this adjoining Agni hymn cluster; attribution may vary by tradition)
Devata: Multiple (Pūṣan, Maruts, Viśve Devāḥ, Vāyu; oblation ultimately for Indra)
Chandas: Likely Jagatī/Triṣṭubh-contextual; contains a Gayatrī-reference (gāyatra-vepase) rather than necessarily the meter itself

पूषण्वते मरुत्वते विश्वदेवाय वायवे । स्वाहा गायत्रवेपसे हव्यमिन्द्राय कर्तन ॥
