Then arises the ‘ghaṭa-stage’, devoted to the discipline of the breath. When prāṇa and apāna, mind and intellect, and the individual self and the Supreme Self come to unity without mutual opposition, that is declared to be the ghaṭa-stage. Its signs I shall describe.

Verse Context

• Aikya (non-oppositional unity) as yogic maturation toward nonduality
• Mahavakya: Indirectly consonant with ‘Tat Tvam Asi’ and ‘Aham Brahmāsmi’ as a yogic description of dissolving perceived duality; not a direct mahāvākya citation.
• Krishna Yajurveda
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
