na tavāviditaṃ kiñcid bhavān śrutinidhiḥ smṛtaḥ | kathyate devaloke ca pitṛloke ca brāhmaṇa ||
Yājñavalkya dit : «Rien ne t’est inconnu. Tu es renommé comme un trésor de la śruti, la révélation védique. Ô brāhmaṇa, ta gloire est célébrée jusque dans le monde des dieux et dans le monde des ancêtres».

The verse underscores reverence for true learning: a person grounded in Śruti is portrayed as an authoritative guide whose knowledge and merit earn recognition across cosmic realms. Ethically, it models humility and the proper honoring of wisdom as a foundation for dharmic counsel.
Yājñavalkya addresses a learned Brāhmaṇa (his interlocutor), praising him as one who lacks no knowledge and is famed as a repository of Vedic wisdom, with renown extending to Devaloka and Pitṛloka—setting a respectful tone before further instruction or inquiry.
