Verse Context

• Mokṣa (transformative efficacy of Upaniṣadic vidyā/adhyayana leading to identity with the taught state)
• Mahavakya: Indirect: affirms the Upaniṣadic method (śravaṇa/adhyayana) as a means to realize non-difference implied by mahāvākyas such as ‘tat tvam asi’ and ‘ahaṁ brahmāsmi’; not itself a mahāvākya.
• Yajur
• Kṛṣṇa Yajurveda (Taittirīya tradition; Śaiva Upaniṣad corpus attribution) Shakha
• Chandas: Prose (colophon/phalāśruti style)
