Verse Context

• Jagat-sṛṣṭi (emanation) and īśvara-vaibhava; Brahman/Hari as source and inner ‘I’
• Mahavakya: Indirect—‘aham’ language can be read as pointing toward self-identity teaching (ahaṃ-bodha), but here framed theistically as Hari’s vaibhava rather than an explicit Mahāvākya.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka-style)
