Mantra 8
Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within the Vājasaneyin transmission (often treated as Yājñavalkya-lineage in ritual attribution)
Devata: Deva as ‘netṛ’ (contextually Agni as leader of offerings, or Indra as bestower of dyumna/rayi)
Chandas: Mixed/irregular (yajus-style prose-verse); not a strict ṛgvedic metre
