Rig Veda 10.97.7: Mandala 10, Sukta 97, Mantra 7
Sukta 10.97
Rishi: Unknown/collective.
Devata: Oṣadhayaḥ (healing powers), with Soma as an inner companion-power (delight/immortality).
Chandas: Jagatī/Anuṣṭubh mixture uncertain; this pāda-length suggests a longer meter tendency (often classified as Jagatī in parts of the hymn).
