Rig Veda 9.19.1: Mandala 9, Sukta 19, Mantra 1
Sukta 9.19
Rishi: Ascribed generally in RV 9 (Pavamāna Maṇḍala) to Soma-pavamāna seers; specific attribution for 9.19 varies by tradition (often treated as Soma hymns of the Pavamanas rather than a single fixed r̥ṣi).
Devata: Soma Pavamāna (the purifying Soma)
Chandas: Gāyatrī (3 pādas × 8 syllables; typical for many Soma-pavamāna verses)
