Verse Context

• Brahman as sat-cit-ānanda; pūrṇatva (plenitude); Śiva as auspicious non-dual Self
• Mahavakya: Strongly aligns with ‘अहं ब्रह्मास्मि’ through explicit ‘paramātmā asmi aham’; also resonates with ‘तत् त्वम् असि’ by equating the individual ‘I’ with the Supreme Self.
• Yajur
• Kṛṣṇa-Yajurveda (Maitrāyaṇīya tradition; later Vedāntic śloka layer) Shakha
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka-style, post-Vedic)
