निःसंदिग्धं प्रबुद्धस्त्वं बुध्यमानश्चराचरम् । श्रोतुमिच्छामि तउज्ञानं घृतं मण्डमयं यथा
niḥsaṃdigdhaṃ prabuddhas tvaṃ budhyamānaś carācaram | śrotum icchāmi tad jñānaṃ ghṛtaṃ maṇḍamayaṃ yathā ||
ନିଃସନ୍ଦେହ ଆପଣ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ପ୍ରବୁଦ୍ଧ ଏବଂ ସମଗ୍ର ଚରାଚର ଜଗତକୁ ଅବଗତ। ତେଣୁ ମୁଁ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ମୁଖରୁ ସେହି ସାରଭୂତ ତତ୍ତ୍ୱଜ୍ଞାନ ଶୁଣିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଛି—ଯେପରି ଉତ୍ତମ ମାଖନରୁ ନିଷ୍କାଶିତ ଘିଅ, ସେପରି ପରିଶୁଦ୍ଧ, ସମୃଦ୍ଧ ଓ ପୋଷକ।

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes reverence for awakened insight and frames true knowledge (jñāna/tattva-jñāna) as the refined essence of understanding—like ghee extracted from the finest butter—implying that wisdom should be distilled, nourishing, and free from doubt.
Yājñavalkya addresses a realized knower, affirming their complete comprehension of the whole cosmos (carācaram) and requesting that they teach the essential, most concentrated form of spiritual knowledge.
