Shloka 12
Arjuna’s request to Krishna and the opening of the Kāśyapa–Brāhmaṇa mokṣa discourse (Āśvamedhika-parva 16)
स हि धर्म: सुपर्याप्तो ब्रह्मण: पदवेदने । न शक्यं तन््मया भूयस्तथा वक्तुमशेषत:,क्योंकि वह धर्म ब्रह्मपदकी प्राप्ति करानेके लिये पर्याप्त था, वह सारा-का-सारा धर्म उसी रूपमें फिर दुहरा देना अब मेरे वशकी बात भी नहीं है
sa hi dharmaḥ suparyāpto brahmaṇaḥ padavedane | na śakyaṃ tanmayā bhūyas tathā vaktum aśeṣataḥ ||
«لقد كان ذلك التعليم في الدَّرما كافيًا تمامًا لقيادة المرء إلى إدراك المقام الأسمى لبراهْمان. غير أن تكرار تلك الدَّرما كلّها مرةً أخرى، على النحو نفسه كاملًا بلا نقص، لم يعد في وسعي.»

Educational Q&A
The verse affirms that a certain dharma-teaching is complete and sufficient for attaining realization of the supreme Brahman-state, while also stressing that such total instruction cannot always be exhaustively restated—pointing to both the fullness of the path and the practical limits of verbal repetition.
Vāyudeva, speaking as a divine authority, refers back to a previously delivered, comprehensive exposition of dharma and states that although it was adequate for the highest spiritual goal, he is not able to repeat the whole of it again in full detail.
