Mantra 2

Rishi: Not explicitly rubricated in many śrauta manuals; associated with Soma-protective recitations.

Devata: Paṇi (as adversary, in expulsion), Yama (as allocator).

Chandas: Jagatī/triṣṭubh-mixed cadence (requires metrical verification; the transmitted lineation suggests a longer measure).
