Verse Context

• Advaita realization expressed through yogic mano-nirodha and unmanī
• Mahavakya: Consonant with ‘Prajnānam Brahma’ insofar as the ‘white sky’/pure awareness is treated as Brahman; also aligns with ‘Aham Brahmāsmi’ in the non-dual identification implied by ‘advaita-sadānanda’.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Prose (gadya)
