Attribution

Rishi: Traditionally Atharvanic/Angirasic attribution for AV 12.5 (to be verified per Anukramaṇī in critical apparatus).

Devata: Brahman (sacral power) and the moral force of ṛta–satya; implicitly the ‘brahmagavī’ as sacrosanct object.

Chandas: Mixed/Anuṣṭubh-dominant in the hymn; this verse is a prose-like enumeration (to be metrically confirmed).
