Rig Veda 10.161.5 — Mandala 10, Sukta 161, Mantra 5
Sukta 10.161
Rishi: Late Maṇḍala 10 healing voice; specific r̥ṣi attribution uncertain.
Devata: Implicitly the restoring powers invoked earlier; the mantra functions as a direct address to the patient/seeker.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like brevity in late style; requires strict syllable check.
