Mantra 13
Rishi: Traditionally ascribed within the Yajurvedic transmission to the Śukla-Yajurveda lineage (often connected with Yājñavalkya’s school authority rather than a single Ṛgvedic seer).
Devata: Indrāgnī (dual deity: Indra and Agni conjointly).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (Yajus prose-verse hybrid; metrically close to a Triṣṭubh stanza in four pādas).
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

Translation
Both you, O Indra and Agni, are meet to be invoked; both are bountiful, to rejoice together. Both are bestowers of riches unto the clans; both I call upon for the winning of the prize.
