विश्वावयुरुवाच तथ्यं शुभं चैतदुक्त त्वया विभो सम्यक् क्षेम्यं दैवताद्यं यथावत् । स्वस्त्यक्षयं भवतश्चास्तु नित्यं बुद्धा सदा बुद्धियुक्त मनस्ते
Viśvāvasur uvāca—tathyaṁ śubhaṁ caitad uktaṁ tvayā vibho samyak kṣemyaṁ daivatādyaṁ yathāvat | svasty akṣayaṁ bhavataś cāstu nityaṁ buddhā sadā buddhiyuktaṁ manas te ||
Viśvāvasu dit : «Ô Seigneur, ce que tu as dit est vrai et auspice. Tu as décrit avec justesse et dans l’ordre Brahman, source primordiale des dieux—un exposé salutaire et d’un bénéfice suprême. Que le bien-être impérissable t’accompagne à jamais ; que ton esprit demeure sans cesse éveillé et uni à la sagesse.»

The verse affirms that a correct, orderly exposition of Brahman as the primordial source of the gods is both true and auspicious, and it highlights the ethical-spiritual ideal that the teacher’s mind should remain continually awakened and united with wisdom.
After hearing the discourse, Viśvāvasu offers respectful praise and a benediction—wishing the speaker imperishable welfare and steady wisdom—signaling closure to this portion of the instruction.
