Attribution

Rishi: Traditionally attributed within AV 20 to Rigvedic seers (RV-derived material); here aligned with Indra-hymnic tradition (exact r̥ṣi to be fixed by RV parallel).

Devata: Indra (puruhūta), with hunger (kṣudh) as the adversarial force to be expelled

Chandas: Triṣṭubh (RV-style; AV 20 largely reproduces RV meters)
