A man devoted to constant practice attains lordship (īśvaratva). Many have reached immortality (nityatva) by more than one path.

Verse Context

• Abhyāsa (steady practice) as a means toward īśvaratva and nityatva; mokṣa/immortality
• Mahavakya: No direct relation; generally consistent with Vedāntic soteriology where realization yields freedom/‘immortality’
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
