For Indra only, in sooth, the fruitful Cow gave milk—Vasha—ambrosial draught, the first she milked. Thereafter, fourfold-wise, she made the Four content: the Gods, mankind, the Asuras, and the Seers beside.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (cosmogonic distribution motif)
Devata: Indra (primary), then the four recipient classes collectively
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (but Atharvanic text shows mixed metrical regularity)
