यावानर्थ उदपाने सर्वतः सम्प्लुतोदके | तावान्सर्वेषु वेदेषु ब्राह्मणस्य विजानतः
yāvānartha udapāne sarvataḥ samplutodake . tāvānsarveṣu vedeṣu brāhmaṇasya vijānataḥ
一位有觉悟的婆罗门，在所有吠陀经中的功用，如同大水泛滥时，水井对人的功用一般。
A Brahmana with realization has that much utility in all the Vedas as a man has in a well when there is a flood all around.
对于一位已证悟自性的圣者而言，吠陀经已无用处，因为他已拥有自性的无限知识。但这并非意味着吠陀经毫无价值，它们对初学者或刚踏上灵性道路的求道者仍有其作用。所有通过正确履行吠陀经所规定的行动而获得的短暂快乐，都包含在自性知识的无限喜悦之中。
Only for a sage who has realised the Self? the Vedas are of no use? because he is in possession of the infinite knowledge of the Self. This does not? however? mean that the Vedas are useless. They are useful for the neophytes or the aspirants who have just started on the spiritual path.All the transient pleasures derivable from the proper performance of all actions enjoined in the Vedas are comprehended in the infinite bliss of Selfknowledge.
