Attribution

Rishi: Ṛgvedic provenance (Indra-stotra); in AV 20, verses are largely adopted from the Ṛgveda; specific r̥ṣi attribution follows the RV source-hymn tradition rather than Atharvanic family lists.

Devata: Indra

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable, matching RV-style cadence; AV 20 commonly preserves RV meters)
