Verse Context

• Moksha (liberation) through kāma-kṣaya (cessation of desire) and sarveṣaṇā-tyāga (renunciation of all cravings)
• Mahavakya: Indirect: supports the realization implied by mahāvākyas (e.g., ‘ahaṃ brahmāsmi’) by prescribing the inner qualification—freedom from desire—needed for steady abidance in non-dual knowledge.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka-like)
