Verse Context

• Gati (post-mortem destiny) conditioned by upāsanā on nāda/Om; graded lokas vs. final mokṣa
• Mahavakya: Indirect: emphasizes preparatory upāsanā leading to higher states; ultimately sublated by mahāvākya-knowledge (ātma-brahma aikya) for mokṣa.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
