Rishi: Traditionally attributed in Book 9 to Soma-Pavamāna seers; specific r̥ṣi for 9.71 varies by Anukramaṇī tradition (often listed under Pavitra/Āṅgirasa lineages).
Devata: Soma Pavamāna (the self-purifying Soma), with associated powers of Dakṣiṇā and Brahman (mantric force).
Chandas: Likely Jagatī (common in Soma Pavamāna hymns), pending pada-count verification for this specific mantra.
