Rig Veda 9.67.29: Mandala 9, Sukta 67, Mantra 29
Sukta 9.67
Rishi: Requires Anukramaṇī confirmation for RV 9.67.29.
Devata: Likely Soma or Agni as the beloved youthful power; within RV 9 context, most probable Soma-Pavamāna, but the epithet āhuti-vṛdh also suits Agni—needs hymn-level devatā check.
Chandas: Likely Triṣṭubh/Jagatī type; confirm by scan.
