Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ११ ॥

In plain words

You have bound fire and the rest — what of it? You have directly pierced the finest metals — what of it? You have found buried treasure with eye-salves and the like — what of it, if you never once came face to face with your own Ātma?

Close to the Sanskrit

Fire and the rest have been thoroughly bound — from that, what? The choicest metals have been directly pierced — from that, what? Buried treasure has been obtained by eye-salves and the like — from that, what? — for one by whom his own Ātma was not at all directly realized.
