परिव्राजक-आचारः (Conduct of the Wandering Renunciant) — Mahābhārata, Śānti-parva 269
सर्व विदुर्वेदविदो वेदे सर्व प्रतिष्ठितम् । वेदे हि निष्ठा सर्वस्य यद् यदस्ति च नास्ति च
sarva vidur vedavido vede sarva pratiṣṭhitam | vede hi niṣṭhā sarvasya yad yad asti ca nāsti ca ||
迦毗罗说：“真正知吠陀者，便知一切；因为一切皆以吠陀为根基而安立。吠陀实为诸般理解之终极依止：凡有者、凡无者，其所立之位，皆于吠陀中宣示。”

Educational Q&A
Kapila asserts the Veda as the comprehensive foundation of knowledge: the Veda is presented as the settled authority that accounts for both what exists and what does not, grounding inquiry into dharma and reality.
Within the Śānti Parva’s reflective teachings, Kapila is expounding a doctrinal point about authority and knowledge, emphasizing that Veda-knowers are said to know all because the Veda is treated as the ultimate basis for understanding existence and non-existence.
