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 60 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

Canonical key VG:YV:VSM:A{nn}:V{nnn} -> the source's own coordinates (chapter=adhyaya, sukt_number=1 constant across all 1,975 rows, shlok_number=mantra), then confirmed by comparing the text the source states this recording recites against this corpus's text for the same key. No offset or permutation is applied and none is needed: for 30 of the 33 previously-refused verses the coordinate-aligned source row is also the single best text match among all 1,975 source rows, the runner-up scoring at or below 0.64, so there is no numbering divergence in the Yajurveda. Two defects in the shipped matcher were corrected before scoring -- see docs/reports/data-completeness/audio-yv.md, section 'Two instrument defects'. Neither changes any coordinate; both change only whether a true match is recognised as one. The corrected instrument was recalibrated over all 1,975 coordinate-aligned pairs (median 1.0000, p5 0.9862) against 800 deliberately mispaired ones (median 0.2514, max 0.5690), and it re-accepts every verse the shipped matcher accepted -- zero regressions.
