Shloka 68
नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
निःसंदिग्धं प्रबुद्धस्त्वं बुध्यमानश्चराचरम् । श्रोतुमिच्छामि तउज्ञानं घृतं मण्डमयं यथा
niḥsaṃdigdhaṃ prabuddhas tvaṃ budhyamānaś carācaram | śrotum icchāmi tad jñānaṃ ghṛtaṃ maṇḍamayaṃ yathā ||
Wika ni Yājñavalkya: “Walang bahid ng pag-aalinlangan: ikaw ay ganap na nagising at nauunawaan mo ang buong daigdig—ang gumagalaw at ang di gumagalaw. Kaya nais kong marinig mula sa iyong bibig ang kaalamang ubod-ugat—mayaman, pinadalisay, at nakapagpapalusog—na tulad ng ghee na hinango mula sa pinakamainam na mantikilya.”

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.
