The passage quoted in the first line of the verse is from the Kena Upaniṣad (I, 5). It says: “That which is not expressed by speech, that by which speech is revealed, know that alone to be Brahman, and not what people worship as an object.” The second line of the verse refers to the text yato vāco nivartante, etc.
