Suktas in Anuvaka 14

Sukta 131

Rishi: Traditionally Atharvanic/appendix; specific ṛṣi not securely assignable for this fragmentary unit | Devata: Vanaspati/Vṛkṣa (trees as personified supports) | 20 Mantras

Sukta 132

Rishi: Uncertain from the excerpt alone (AV 20 is largely Rigvedic borrowings; r̥ṣi assignment must be checked against the AVŚ anukramaṇī for 20.132). | Devata: Devī (protective goddess / personified efficacious power). | 16 Mantras

Sukta 133

Rishi: Anukta/late (AV 20 appendical material; often treated as khila-like) | Devata: Anukta (address to kumārī; pragmatic speech-act rather than deity-invocation) | 6 Mantras

Sukta 134

Rishi: Anukta (khila) | Devata: Diśaḥ (Directions) / Apotropaic expulsion (implicit) | 6 Mantras

Sukta 135

Rishi: Anukta/late | Devata: Thāmas (staying-strength) / Dundubhi (instrumental power) / protective divine force | 13 Mantras

Sukta 136

Rishi: Uncertain/late compilation layer (AV 20 is largely Rigvedic/khila-associated; specific ṛṣi attribution not stable here) | Devata: Vanaspati/ritual agency; also the personified Mahānagnī as operative figure | 16 Mantras

Sukta 137

Rishi: As in RV-derived material of AV 20: traditionally RV seer attribution applies; exact r̥ṣi for this verse requires AV 20 anukramaṇī mapping. | Devata: Indra / Vajra (thunderbolt-power as personified efficacy of speech) | 14 Mantras

Sukta 138

Rishi: RV-derived; likely Kāṇva lineage for parts of this cluster (see 20.138.3); exact r̥ṣi for 20.138.1 requires anukramaṇī confirmation. | Devata: Indra (with Parjanya as simile) | 3 Mantras

Sukta 139

Rishi: Kāṇva-tradition (RV-derived Aśvin hymn material; seer attribution varies by RV parallel) | Devata: Aśvinau (Nā́satyā, Dasrá) | 5 Mantras

Sukta 140

Rishi: RV-derived Aśvin hymn material (Nāsatyā address) | Devata: Aśvinau (Nāsatyā) | 5 Mantras
