Devata: Indra
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (as transmitted in AV 20 Indra-stutis; metrical identification may vary with pada division)

It asks Indra to grant mastery/authority and to provide wealth repeatedly (“day by day”), while ensuring the gains do not turn into pāpatva—harmful or blameworthy acquisition.
Because prosperity can bring moral and ritual risk if gained through harmful means or misused. The mantra safeguards the request so wealth and power remain legitimate, stabilizing, and non-injurious.
No. AV 20.82 functions as a stuti (praise-petition) and can be recited on its own; optional simple offerings may be added if performed within a broader household or fire-rite context.
