Rig Veda 6.42.1: Mandala 6, Sukta 42, Mantra 1
Sukta 6.42
Rishi: Bharadvāja (Bārhaspatya) tradition.
Devata: Indra (heroic 'nár' as Indra/Indra-like power; hymn is Indra-oriented in this sequence).
Chandas: Jagatī (probable; longer cadence typical—exact syllable count should be verified against a critical text).
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
