Verse Context

• Antaḥkaraṇa-śuddhi and aparokṣa-jñāna (direct realization) of non-duality; Brahmānubhava as paramānanda
• Mahavakya: Directly echoes ‘ahaṃ brahmāsmi’ (I am Brahman) and aligns with ‘sarvaṃ khalv idaṃ brahma’ (all this is Brahman) as a non-dual vision
• Atharva
• Chandas: Prose (mixed anuṣṭubh-like cadence, but not strictly metrical)
