As a name in the seer apparatus

Recorded as a seer in the traditional apparatus. Most such records are hymn headings rather than verse-by-verse statements, and the split below shows which.

How the attribution was recorded

Inherited from the hymn	Insufficient evidence	not established

Inherited from the hymn the hymn heading projected onto every verse inside it

The two are never summed: a statement of the text and a projection of this build are different claims.

This layer reaches Yajurveda. A collection absent from that list has no coverage here, which is not the same as the name being absent from it.

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

113 of the 729 :Rishi nodes are NOT seers: the Anukramani's rishi slot also holds the being a hymn addresses, so it contains 58 deities, 21 abstractions, 13 mythic beings, 11 deity groups, 5 plants or animals, 3 collectives and 2 objects. Every row carries `is_seer` and `non_seer_kind`; a false there must not be rendered as a seer, and it is not a reason to render the node as a deity either.
measured
`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
`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.
