Verse Context

• Moksha / Ānanda as Brahman (brahmānanda) and destruction of pāśa (bondage)
• Mahavakya: Echoes “प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म” (Prajñānaṃ brahma): by Brahman-state (brahmabhāva) one realizes supreme bliss; also aligns with “अहं ब्रह्मास्मि” as identity yielding brahmānanda.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
