Transliteration
śabda-brahmāṇi niṣṇātaḥ paraṁ brahmādhigacchati | śarīram etat kurute yad vede kurute tanum ||
Translation
Sabi ni Kapila: “Ang sinumang lubos na bihasa sa Śabda-brahman—ang Brahman bilang tunog, ang salita ng Veda at ang disiplinadong pag-aaral—ay sa pamamagitan nito’y makaaabot sa Para-brahman. Sapagkat ang katawang ito’y hinuhubog ayon sa hinuhubog ng tao sa Veda: kung paanong hinuhubog ang panloob na sarili sa disiplina ng Veda, gayon din nahuhubog ang kalagayang may katawan.”
