Verse Context

• Cosmogenesis from Īśvara; prakṛti–puruṣa framework; Virāṭ (cosmic form)
• Mahavakya: Indirect—cosmological teaching serves as adhyāropa (provisional superimposition) leading toward non-dual insight; ultimately the seeker is guided to ‘प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म’ (consciousness as Brahman) beyond prakṛti–puruṣa duality.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
