Kaśyapa created thee; Kaśyapa wholly set thee in motion. Indra bore thee among men, and, bearing, conquered the close-clinging foe. The gods made the amulet, of thousandfold might, a coat of mail.
Rishi: Kāśyapa
Devata: Maṇi as Varman; Indra as exemplar of efficacy
Chandas: Mixed/expanded Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (tri-pāda narrative with concluding pāda); treated as Anuṣṭubh in many practical listings
