Mantra 31
Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within the Śukla-Yajurvedic transmission (often linked to Yājñavalkya’s school-lineage rather than a distinct ṛṣi rubric for each formula).
Devata: Pitaraḥ (the Fathers).
Chandas: Mixed/prose-like yajus-formula (non-R̥gvedic metrical classification; treated as Yajus).
