Conquered is it for us; burst open for us. The Right is ours; ours is the splendour; ours the sacred spell; ours the heavenly light; ours the sacrifice; ours the cattle; ours the progeny; ours the heroes.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa tradition (exact r̥ṣi attribution for AVŚ 16.8 requires pada-anukramaṇī consultation).
Devata: Abstract victory-powers (ṛta, tejas, brahman, svàr) as efficacious agencies.
Chandas: Predominantly Anuṣṭubh-like cadence; exact metrical scansion uncertain due to litany-style repetition.
