Mantra 51
Rishi: Traditionally connected with the Āpaḥ hymnic lineage (often treated as Vedic seers of the Waters rather than a single named ṛṣi in ritual citation)
Devata: Āpaḥ (Waters)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (as used in many āpaḥ-formulas; metrical assignment may be treated as pragmatic in Yajus usage)
