The Upanishad glorifies Shiva, with Vedanta nondualism terminology.[4] The text is notable for its focus on Sadashiva, as Brahman, with his five faces corresponding to five Ishwaras,[5] and for its recommendation of meditation on "So'ham" or "I am he, He am I" to achieve moksha, the union with Brahman.[6]
