Attribution

Rishi: Ṛgvedic provenance (Indra-stotra tradition); in AV 20, hymns are largely adopted from the Ṛgveda (exact r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī).

Devata: Indra (Soma-invited lord of wealth and victory)

Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-type cadence (as in many RV Indra stanzas; AV 20 follows RV meters)
