Shloka 11
नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
कृत्स्नं शतपथं चैव प्रणेष्यसि द्विजर्षभ । तस्यान्ते चापुनभवि बुद्धिस्तव भविष्यति,द्विजश्रेष्ठ! तुम सम्पूर्ण शतपथका भी प्रणयन (सम्पादन) करोगे। इसके बाद तुम्हारी बुद्धि मोक्षमें स्थिर होगी
kṛtsnaṁ śatapathaṁ caiva praṇeṣyasi dvijarṣabha | tasyānte cāpunarbhavi buddhis tava bhaviṣyati, dvijaśreṣṭha ||
Yājñavalkya sprach: „O Stier unter den Zweimalgeborenen, auch das ganze Śatapatha (Brāhmaṇa) wirst du verfassen und darlegen. Und wenn dieses Werk vollendet ist, o Bester der Brāhmaṇas, wird dein Verständnis fest in jenem Zustand ruhen, aus dem es keine Wiederkehr gibt—der Befreiung.“

Educational Q&A
The verse links disciplined scriptural transmission (compiling and teaching Vedic tradition) with the maturation of insight that culminates in apunarbhavi buddhi—an understanding oriented to liberation and no further rebirth.
Yājñavalkya addresses a distinguished brāhmaṇa, predicting that he will complete the Śatapatha and, after finishing that undertaking, attain a steady, liberation-directed intellect.
