Verse 2.43

Sanskrit text and transliteration:

अशेषानन्दवल्ल्यर्थसूत्रमाद्यमिदं वचः ।
यस्मात्तस्मात्तदर्थस्य ह्याविष्कृदृगुदीर्यते ॥ ४३ ॥

aśeṣānandavallyarthasūtramādyamidaṃ vacaḥ |
yasmāttasmāttadarthasya hyāviṣkṛdṛgudīryate || 43 ||

English translation of verse 2.43:

Since this statement at the beginning expresses aphoristically the purport of the entire Ānandavallī, (the subsequent) Ṛg mantra which brings out its meaning clearly is uttered.

Notes:

So far the meaning of the śruti text brahmavid āpnoti param, which is very brief, has been explained. Since the text speaks about “the knower of Brahman”, it is necessary to know what Brahman is. What follows in the sequel sets forth the nature of Brahman.
