Attribution

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages; specific r̥ṣi attribution for this short healing unit is not uniform across ancillary lists).

Devata: Soma in the waters; Agni as viśvaśam (universal healer); implicitly Āpas (Waters) as the medicinal matrix.

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (by cadence and pāda-structure typical of early AV healing verses; exact metrical scansion may vary with pada division).
