Rig Veda 8.46.29: Mandala 8, Sukta 46, Mantra 29

Sukta 8.46

Rishi: Not determinable from provided excerpt alone (RV 8.46 is within the Vālakhilya/appendix-type cluster in some recensions; attribution varies by tradition).

Devata: Likely a praise of a beneficent power associated with impetus and gifts; precise devatā uncertain from this single mantra without hymn header (possible Indra-associated dāna context in 8.46).

Chandas: Not determinable with certainty from single verse without full metrical scan; likely a common RV meter (Triṣṭubh/Jagatī) in this section.
