Verse Context

• Paramapada (supreme state) as nondual Brahman; omnipresence of Brahman; unmanī as contemplative pointer
• Mahavakya: Resonates with “सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म (sarvaṃ khalv idaṃ brahma)” (Chāndogya) and the import of “तत् त्वम् असि (tat tvam asi)”—the Supreme is not elsewhere; it is all-pervasive and immediate.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
