Attribution

Rishi: Traditionally associated with Atharvanic/Brāhmaṇa-style prose-verse discourse in AV 15; specific ṛṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī tradition.

Devata: Āpaḥ (Waters), Śraddhā (Faith), Varṣa/Vṛṣṭi (Rain) as personified powers attending the knower.

Chandas: Mixed/late Atharvanic style; not a strict early RV meter (often treated as anuṣṭubh-like cadence).
