Shloka 6
Brahmopadeśa on Saṃnyāsa, Tapas, and Jñāna (ब्रह्मोपदेशः—संन्यासतपोज्ञानविमर्शः)
यस्तु वेद निराधारं ज्ञानं तत्त्वविनिश्चयात् | सर्वभूतस्थमात्मानं स सर्वगतिरिष्यते,जो तत्त्वका पूर्ण निश्चय करके ज्ञानस्वरूप, निराधार और सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंके भीतर रहनेवाले आत्माको जान लेता है, वह सर्वव्यापक हो जाता है
vāyudeva uvāca | yastu veda nirādhāraṃ jñānaṃ tattvaviniścayāt | sarvabhūtastham ātmānaṃ sa sarvagatir iṣyate ||
Vāyudeva bersabda: Barangsiapa, dengan kepastian penuh tentang kebenaran, mengenali Ātman yang berwujud pengetahuan murni—tanpa sandaran namun bersemayam dalam semua makhluk—ia dipandang telah mencapai “sarvagati”, yakni kemahameliputan.

Educational Q&A
Firm discernment of reality leads to realization of the Ātman as pure consciousness, independent of external supports and present in all beings; such realization is described as attaining all-pervasiveness (sarvagati), i.e., freedom from limitation.
Vāyudeva is instructing the listener in a contemplative teaching: true knowledge is not mere information but direct realization of the Self within all beings, presented as the mark of spiritual attainment in this section of the Aśvamedhika Parva.
