Verse Context

• Kṛtakṛtyatā (accomplishedness) through Self-knowledge; sublation of sādhanā as a means once knowledge dawns
• Mahavakya: Implicitly grounded in ‘अहं ब्रह्मास्मि’—realization makes one ‘kṛtakṛtya’ (nothing further to accomplish), since the Self is ever-free.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
