Rishi: Traditionally associated with speculative Atharvanic seers in the Vrātya/cosmological stratum (exact r̥ṣi assignment varies by anukramaṇī traditions).
Devata: Kāla/Ṛtu (Time/Seasons) or the cosmic person/year as the implicit subject.
Chandas: Mixed/prose-leaning triṣṭubh-jagatī tendencies in this section; not a strict RV-style metrical hymn.
Primary: shanta
Secondary: adbhuta
