Verse Context

• Īśvara/Ātman immanence; sama-darśana (equal vision); non-duality expressed as reverence to all beings
• Mahavakya: Indirectly supports ‘tat tvam asi’ and ‘ahaṃ brahmāsmi’ by extending identity/immanence to all beings; not a direct mahāvākya citation
• Yajur
• Śukla-Yajurveda (Vājasaneyī) — traditionally associated; the Yājñavalkya Upaniṣad is generally classed with Śukla-Yajurveda in later Upaniṣadic catalogues Shakha
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
