ವೇದಾಂತ ವಾಕ್ಯಗಳ ಸಮೂಹದಿಂದ ಜನಿಸುವ ಜ್ಞಾನದಿಂದ ಆತ್ಮನು ಪ್ರತ್ಯಗಾತ್ಮನಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಶುದ್ಧ ಚೈತನ್ಯ, ಈಶ್ವರ-ಚೈತನ್ಯ, ಜೀವ-ಚೈತನ್ಯ, ಪ್ರಮಾತಾ, ಪ್ರಮಾಣ, ಪ್ರಮೇಯ ಮತ್ತು ಫಲ—ಈ ಏಳು ವಿಧ ಭೇದವು ವ್ಯವಹಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ವಿಭಿನ್ನವಾಗಿ ಬೋಧಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದೆ. ಮಾಯೆಯ ಉಪಾಧಿಯಿಂದ ಮುಕ್ತವಾದುದು ‘ಶುದ್ಧ’ ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಮಾಯಾಸಂಬಂಧದಿಂದ ಅದು ‘ಈಶ್ವರ’; ಅವಿದ್ಯೆಯ ಅಧೀನದಿಂದ ಅದು ‘ಜೀವ’. ಅಂತಃಕರಣಸಂಬಂಧದಿಂದ ‘ಪ್ರಮಾತಾ’; ಮನೋವೃತ್ತಿಸಂಬಂಧದಿಂದ ‘ಪ್ರಮಾಣ’ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ. ತಿಳಿಯದಿದ್ದರೂ ಚೈತನ್ಯ ‘ಪ್ರಮೇಯ’; ತಿಳಿದಾಗ ಅದೇ ಚೈತನ್ಯ ‘ಫಲ’ ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತದೆ.

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)
