Mantra 39

Rishi: Traditional: associated with solar laudatory strata; in VS book-33 context often treated as Aśvamedha-mantra tradition rather than a single ṛṣi attribution.

Devata: Sūrya/Āditya

Chandas: Mixed/prose-nigada style with ṛgvedic cadence; not a strict single chandas in this transmitted form.
