Sukta 94
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (precise r̥ṣi requires anukramaṇī)
Devata: Indra (as kevalī) and Soma (ritual medium)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like (Atharvanic social-rite verse; moderately regular)
Este encanto atharvavédico de concórdia (sāṃmanasya), de um só verso, utiliza uma oferenda «firme/imutável» (dhruva) para fazer descer Soma como a essência ritual estabilizadora. Ele suplica a Indra como kevalī («senhor único/líder incontestado») que una as viśaḥ (clãs/povos) numa só mente, fortalecendo a estabilidade comunitária e a ação coordenada.
