Verse Context

• Moksha (via haṭha/laya auxiliaries culminating in Brahman-realization)
• Mahavakya: Indirect: presented as preparatory disciplines that support śravaṇa (hearing of Vedānta) and contemplative absorption, thereby aiding assimilation of mahāvākya knowledge.
• Krishna Yajurveda
• Chandas: Mixed; predominantly anuṣṭubh-style śloka (post-Vedic metrical verse)
