Rig Veda 10.91.14: Mandala 10, Sukta 91, Mantra 14
Sukta 10.91
Rishi: Traditionally attributed to Agni-related seers in RV 10.91 (exact rishi varies by Anukramaṇī; commonly: Aruṇa Vaitahavya or similar late-maṇḍala attributions—requires śākhā-specific confirmation)
Devata: Agni (recipient of the generated cāru-mati); secondary: Soma as supporting power (soma-pṛṣṭha)
Chandas: Jagatī (likely for RV 10.91.1 given line length; meter should be confirmed by syllable count in the received text)
