Rig Veda 9.63.21: Mandala 9, Sukta 63, Mantra 21

Sukta 9.63

Rishi: Rebhas/Kavi tradition of the Soma Pavamāna hymns (exact r̥ṣi attribution varies by Anukramaṇī for Soma sections; commonly treated as Pavamāna Soma stotras of seer-poets)

Devata: Soma Pavamāna (Soma in the act of purification/clarification)

Chandas: Jagatī (probable, by verse length and cadence typical of RV 9.63; verify against pada-count tradition)
