Let both the sky now and the earth, forethoughtful - let the bright (''çukrá'') great one, by the sacrificial gift, rescue (''pṛ'') me; let the ''svadhā́'' favor (''anu-ci'') [me, let] Soma, Agni; let Vāyu protect us, [let] Savitar and Bhaga.

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.
