Mantra 13
Rishi: Traditionally associated with Vedic seers of bhūmi-stuti; in Śukla-Yajur liturgy transmitted as an Adhvaryu formula (ṛṣi not always specified in ritual manuals).
Devata: Pṛthivī (Earth).
Chandas: Tr̥ṣṭubh-like cadence (as used in Yajus adaptation; metrical strictness is secondary in Yajurvedic deployment).
