Verse Context

• Turīya (nondual consciousness) / Moksha
• Mahavakya: Indirect—turīya is the experiential correlate often used in Advaita to illuminate mahāvākya import (ātman = brahman), though the verse itself is soteriological/meditative rather than declarative.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
