Verse 328

स यो नाम ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते यावन्नाम्नो गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यो नाम ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगवो नाम्नो भूय इति नाम्नो वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ ५ ॥

In plain words

Whoever meditates on name as brahman attains unhindered freedom wherever the domain of name extends. He who so meditates asks: 'Venerable sir, is there anything greater than name?' And the answer comes: 'Indeed, there is something greater than name.' 'Then please, venerable sir, teach that to me.'

Close to the Sanskrit

He who meditates upon name as brahman, as far as the range of name goes, there he has unhindered freedom of movement. He who meditates upon name as brahman—'Is there, venerable sir, anything greater than name?' 'There is indeed something greater than name.' 'That, may the venerable one instruct me.'
