When is it called a pratishthita atma? It is when you combine the “I” with “my.”  The belief that ‘I am this’ indicates that ‘I’ is in the wrong location.  The belief that “This is all mine,” is the attachment. The belief “I am not this” and “This is not mine,” is without attachment.  The association with attachment is that of the pratishthit atma.  The Self is without any attachment. The pure ‘I’ never moves from its location. The belief that ‘I am Chandulal’ and ‘this body is mine’ is pratishthit atma.
