Attribution

Rishi: Traditionally associated with the AV 15 complex (Vratya/Brahmacārin/royal-theological material); precise r̥ṣi assignment should be checked against the Śaunaka Anukramaṇī for 15.6.

Devata: Agni (as the three fires) and Yajña (personified sacrificial power); also the sacralized ‘knower’ as ritual center.

Chandas: Mixed/prose-like Atharvanic style (not strictly metrical; many AV 15 passages are brāhmaṇa-like).
