Par la connaissance provenant de l’ensemble des phrases du Vedānta, (le Soi) brille comme l’Ātman intérieur. Conscience pure, conscience d’Īśvara, conscience du jīva, puis le connaissant, le moyen de connaître, l’objet connu et le fruit : cet enseignement en sept n’est qu’une distinction au plan de l’expérience empirique. Ce qui est libre de l’upādhi de māyā est appelé « pur ». En relation avec māyā, on l’appelle Īśvara ; sous avidyā, on l’appelle jīva. En relation avec l’antaḥkaraṇa, on l’appelle connaissant ; en relation avec sa vṛtti, on l’appelle moyen de connaissance. La conscience non connue est dite objet ; la conscience connue est dite fruit.

Through the knowledge arising from the collection of Vedāntic statements, (the Self) shines as the inner Self. Pure consciousness, Īśvara-consciousness, jīva-consciousness, the knower, the means of knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the result—this sevenfold (classification) is taught as a distinction only in empirical dealings. That which is free from the limiting adjunct of māyā is called ‘pure’. By relation to māyā it is called Īśvara; as under the sway of avidyā it is called jīva. By relation to the inner organ it is called the knower; by relation to its mental modification it is called the means of knowledge. Consciousness, though unknown, is called the object; consciousness, when known, is called the result.

Vyavahāra-bheda (empirical differentiation) of one consciousness via upādhis and epistemic rolesMahavakya: Clarifies how mahāvākya identity statements operate: removing upādhis (māyā/avidyā) reveals the ‘pure’ consciousness implied by ‘tvam’ and ‘tat’.Krishna YajurvedaKatha (Kaṭha) śākhā (traditional attribution; text is a later sectarian/Advaita-style Upaniṣad) ShakhaChandas: Mixed/irregular (post-Vedic śloka style; not strict Vedic chandas)
