Rudra, an Archer, from the mid-region of the steadfast quarter, stands attendant upon him; neither Śarva, nor Bhava, nor Īśāna comes nigh unto him.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Vrātya-complex attribution (AV 15).
Devata: Rudra as guardian; adversarial epithets Śarva/Bhava/Īśāna as excluded powers.
Chandas: Atharvanic mixed/prose-like cadence.
