Verse Context

• Puṇya as preparatory merit culminating in jñāna (sādhana-catuṣṭaya maturation)
• Mahavakya: Indirect: puṇya is treated as a supportive condition for the rise of mahāvākya-jñāna (fitness for “अहं ब्रह्मास्मि” etc.), not as the liberating factor itself.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Prose/Upaniṣadic mixed meter (not strictly determinable)
