ਵੇਦਾਂਤ ਵਾਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਸਮੂਹ ਤੋਂ ਜਨਮੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਨਾਲ ਆਤਮਾ ਅੰਦਰਲੇ ਆਤਮਾ (ਪ੍ਰਤ੍ਯਗਾਤਮਾ) ਵਜੋਂ ਚਮਕਦਾ ਹੈ। ਸ਼ੁੱਧ ਚੈਤਨ੍ਯ, ਈਸ਼ਵਰ-ਚੈਤਨ੍ਯ, ਜੀਵ-ਚੈਤਨ੍ਯ, ਪ੍ਰਮਾਤਾ, ਪ੍ਰਮਾਣ, ਪ੍ਰਮੇਯ ਅਤੇ ਫਲ—ਇਹ ਸੱਤ-ਵਿਧ ਭੇਦ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਵਿਹਾਰਕ ਲੈਣ-ਦੇਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੀ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਮਾਇਆ ਦੇ ਉਪਾਧੀ ਤੋਂ ਰਹਿਤ ਜੋ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ‘ਸ਼ੁੱਧ’ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਮਾਇਆ-ਸੰਬੰਧ ਨਾਲ ਉਹ ‘ਈਸ਼ਵਰ’; ਅਵਿਦਿਆ ਦੇ ਅਧੀਨ ਹੋਣ ਕਰਕੇ ਉਹ ‘ਜੀਵ’। ਅੰਤਹਕਰਣ ਦੇ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਨਾਲ ‘ਪ੍ਰਮਾਤਾ’; ਮਨ ਦੀ ਵ੍ਰਿੱਤੀ ਦੇ ਸੰਬੰਧ ਨਾਲ ‘ਪ੍ਰਮਾਣ’ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਅਣਜਾਣ ਹੋਣ ਤੇ ਵੀ ਚੈਤਨ੍ਯ ‘ਪ੍ਰਮੇਯ’; ਅਤੇ ਜਾਣਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਚੈਤਨ੍ਯ ‘ਫਲ’ ਕਹਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

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)
