Sukta 25
गिरिमेनाँ आ वेशय कण्वान् जीवितयोपनान्। तांस्त्वं देवि पृश्निपर्ण्यग्निरिवानुदहन्निहि

Bring in the hill-men; make them enter under the Kaṇvas—those whose very footing is life. Those, O Goddess Pṛśniparṇī, do thou, like Agni, burning after them, consume: go forth!
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific r̥ṣi attribution for AV 2.25 varies by anukramaṇī; commonly treated as Atharvan/Angiras-type).
Devata: Pṛśniparṇī (auṣadhi-devatā), with Agni as operative simile/power-model.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; to be confirmed against pada-count in the edition used).
