A null is not a zero: it means this object was not reached in that corpus by the lexical, conceptual or ritual predicates counted here. The mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so even a reached corpus is a lower bound.

How this record was built3

`passage_count` counts DISTINCT passages reaching the object through the lexical, conceptual and ritual predicates this surface counts, and is the same figure the detail view reports. It is NULL, never 0, where no passage reaches it: the mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so a null is a lower bound and not an assertion that the corpus is silent.
measured
SAMAVEDA SCOPE: the Kauthuma Samaveda is present as the arcika (verse) collection only -- 1,844 mantras -- and the gana song corpus is not included. It carries no Anukramani seer or metre apparatus and no English translation, and its share of the deity mention layer comes from surface and sandhi matching rather than from the manual morphological annotation the Rigveda has. Compare it as a share of its 1,844 mantras, never as a raw total against the Rigveda's 10,552.
measured
`co_mentioned` is CO-OCCURRENCE WITHIN A MANTRA and nothing more. It carries no causal, prescriptive or pharmacological claim: a plant named beside an affliction is named beside it, and apamarga is named against sorcery rather than against a cough. `neighbours` holds the curated edges, which are a different strength of claim; the two are separate fields so they cannot be read as one.
