Shukla Yajur Veda — Adhyaya 34, Mantra 50
Rishi: Prayoga-tradition attribution (protective formulae); VS redaction under Yājñavalkya’s school
Devata: Hiraṇya/Tejas (functional deity); implicitly Indra as 'jaitra' (victory) in some ritual readings
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (confirm by metrical scan)
