The Eternal Self and Selfless Action
यावानर्थ उदपाने सर्वतः संप्लुतोदके। तावान्सर्वेषु वेदेषु ब्राह्मणस्य विजानतः
yāvān artha udapāne sarvataḥ samplutodake tāvānsarveṣhu vedeṣhu brāhmaṇasya vijānataḥ
Whatever purpose a small well serves when water floods everywhere on all sides, that much alone is the purpose of all the Vedas for a Brahmana who truly knows.
yāvān—whatever · arthaḥ—purpose · uda-pāne—a well of water · sarvataḥ—in all respects · sampluta-udake—by a large lake · tāvān—that many · sarveṣhu—in all · vedeṣhu—Vedas · brāhmaṇasya—one who realizes the Absolute Truth · vijānataḥ—who is in complete knowledge
