Rig Veda 10.124.3: Mandala 10, Sukta 124, Mantra 3
Sukta 10.124
Rishi: Traditionally connected with themes of Indra–Varuṇa/Asura transition in RV 10.124; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies in later indices (needs edition-specific confirmation).
Devata: Varuṇa/Asura (sovereign of Ṛta) with transitional focus toward Indra in the surrounding verses.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 10.124; verify pada syllable-count in a critical metrical scan).
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
