Kena Upanishad: Verse 2.1
यदि मन्यसे सुवेदेति दभ्रमेवापि नूनं त्वं वेत्थ ब्रह्मणो रूपम् ।
यदस्य त्वं यदस्य देवेष्वथ नु मीमांस्यमेव ते मन्ये विदितम् ॥१॥
यदि । मन्यसे । सुवेद । इति । दभ्रम् । एव । अपि । नूनम् । त्वम् । वेत्थ । ब्रह्मणः । रूपम् ।
यत् । अस्य । त्वम् । यत् । अस्य । देवेषु । अथ । नु । मीमांस्यम् । एव । ते । मन्ये । विदितम् ॥१॥
yadi manyase suveda iti dabhram evāpi nūnaṃ tvaṃ vettha brahmaṇo rūpam |
yad asya tvaṃ yad asya deveṣv atha nu mīmāṃsyam eva te manye viditam ||1||
Jeśli myślisz: 'Dobrze to znam', to z pewnością znasz jedynie odrobinę formy Brahmana, tylko ten aspekt, który jest w tobie i ten, który jest pośród bogów. Dlatego uważam, że to, co uważasz za poznane, wymaga jeszcze zbadania.
If you think, ‘I know (it) well,’ then surely you know only a little of the form of Brahman—(only) that aspect of it which is in you and that which is among the gods. Therefore, I think what you take as known is still to be inquired into.
- suvede iti → suveda iti (final -e of suvede treated as sandhi with iti)
- dabhram evāpi → dabhram eva api
- evāpi shows vṛddhi sandhi (a+ a → ā) across eva+api
- yad asya → yat asya (d→t before voiceless a? orthographic normalization of relative pronoun)
- deveṣv atha → deveṣu atha (u + a sandhi resolved)
- mīmāṃsyam eva → mīmāṃsyam eva (no change)
- mantrāntasandhi not applied
