Attribution

Rishi: RV-layer attribution (Indra-stotra tradition; AV Book 20 is largely Rigvedic reprise—exact r̥ṣi requires hymn concordance)

Devata: Indra (implicitly addressed)

Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-type RV cadence (exact meter requires full pada count; this excerpt behaves like RV stotra diction)
