Verse Context

• Moksha (realization of the supreme state/parama-pada as Brahman/Atman)
• Mahavakya: Indirect: aligns with the purport of ‘aham brahmāsmi’/‘tat tvam asi’ insofar as the ‘supreme station’ is realized as one’s own Self (ātmaikatva), though not stated as a mahāvākya here.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Triṣṭubh (source-verse from Ṛgveda 1.22.20; often treated as Vedic verse rather than Upaniṣadic prose)
