Rig Veda 10.167.1: Mandala 10, Sukta 167, Mantra 1
Sukta 10.167
Rishi: Traditionally associated with the late Rigvedic Indra-hymn corpus of Mandala 10; specific rishi attribution varies by recension and is not securely inferable from the provided text alone.
Devata: Indra (with Soma-pressing context; svah-conquest motif)
Chandas: Likely Triṣṭubh (based on verse shape and cadence typical for Indra praises in X); exact syllable count should be confirmed by pada-level metrical scan.
