Verse Context

• Mokṣa/Amṛtatva through realization of the prājña ātman (conscious Self)
• Mahavakya: Consequence of “प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म”: realizing consciousness as Brahman culminates in amṛtatva (immortality/liberation). Indirectly supports “अहं ब्रह्मास्मि” as the liberating recognition of the Self’s identity with Brahman.
• Rig
• Śākala (Aitareya tradition) Shakha
• Chandas: Prose (gadyam)
