Supported

r̥cā́ kapótaṃ nudata praṇódam íṣaṃ mádantaḥ pári gā́ṃ nayāmaḥ | saṃlobháyanto duritā́ padā́ni hitvā́ na ū́rjaṃ prá padāt páthiṣṭhaḥ ||1||

Translation

With the praise-verse (''ṛ́ç'') drive ye the dove forth (''praṇódam''); reveling in food (''íṣ'') we lead a cow about, breaking up tracks hard to go in; leaving us (our ?) sustenance shall it fly forth, swift-flying.

How attribution was recorded1

PER_PASSAGE is an attribution the source states verse by verse; CONTAINER_INHERITED is a containing hymn's label projected onto each of its mantras. The two must not be summed: 15,177 of the 17,889 seer edges are inherited, every one of the Atharvaveda's 5,084 is, and every one of the Yajurveda's 2,240 is source-stated, so a blended total compares a statement of the text against a projection of this build.
