Matched to this passage

Confirmed. The text the source says this recording recites matches this corpus's text for this passage.

The line behind the control

An accent trace: one turn for each of the 12 accent marks printed in this verse, a mark above the letter turning the line up and a mark below turning it down. It is derived from the text on this page and from nothing else. It is not measured pitch, not a reconstructed melody, and not a timing of the recording: the playhead moves across it because both run left to right, and no syllable is claimed to align with any moment of the audio.

How it was matched

Three coordinate assertions by the source, two independent verifications, and no timestamp. (1) The audio content record 6936e9f2d00495a3a8dbb986 is attached by the source to text location 66695ac77dbde8fe26789f55, whose aliases are 06.075.12|6.75.12|6,75,12|516,12 - the fourth of which is the appendix running number, so the source states the coordinate twice in two numbering conventions. (2) The file's own caption reads 'RV 06.075.12' and its filename is '06.075.12.ogg', encoding the same coordinate a third time. (3) The text VedaWeb serves at that same location is this corpus's text for VG:RV:SAK:M06:S075:V012: letter similarity 0.9787 against our GRETIL/Aufrecht primary text, and the unique best match across all 10,552 Rigvedic stanzas (runner-up VG:RV:SAK:M01:S021:V006 at 0.4844). (4) The two corpora's stanza label sets are a bijection with zero per-hymn stanza-count disagreement, so there is no shift for a coordinate to absorb. (5) The boundary is the file boundary: one standalone Ogg Vorbis file holding exactly this stanza, 8.667007 seconds and 116216 bytes, fetched and decoded. No start or end offset is asserted, because none is needed and none was invented. This row was not reviewed by listening.

Attribution

Recitation by Pt. D. P. Kinjawadekar (Pune, 1983), from the Veda-recitationer collection of Guni Hesting Kirchheiner, made available for research by the National Library of Denmark; segmented and hosted by VedaWeb, University of Cologne.

One discrete Ogg Vorbis file per stanza, so this row needs no segmentation and asserts no offsets. checksum is the SHA-256 of the upstream bytes as fetched on 2026-09-15, not of a retained copy - no copy is held, and the field exists here so upstream drift can be detected rather than discovered by a listener. licence is null because the source states none: the rights basis is the Royal Danish Library's item statement - non-commercial use permitted, republishing only by written agreement - which is why local_copy_permitted is false and playback is REMOTE_DIRECT against the source's own host rather than a mirror. No patha type is claimed anywhere on this row because the source states none. Admitted 2026-09-19 under OWNER_DECISION_AUDIO_TWO_TIER_PUBLICATION as SOURCE_MAPPED_UNREVIEWED. Media re-fetched that day and confirmed to resolve: 116216 bytes; sha256 matches the staged measurement. Staging evidence retained: bytes=116216; codec=vorbis; duration_seconds=8.667007; fetched_on=2026-09-15; sample_rate=44100; sha256=196d90dc210e7b556ea392dcb2d9ae2a16696183632373aa80055982fda01d4f; text_runner_up_key=VG:RV:SAK:M01:S021:V006; text_runner_up_score=0.4844; text_similarity_to_our_primary_text=0.9787; text_unique_best_match_across_10552_stanzas=True; quality_class=INSTITUTIONAL_ARCHIVE; evidence_layer=SOURCE_EXPLICIT.
