यामांशभागस्य तथा हि वेदा यथा हि शाखा च महीरुहस्य ।

In plain words

The Vedas belong to one portion of it only — the way a branch belongs to a great tree.

Close to the Sanskrit

Of that fractional share — so indeed are the Vedas; just as, indeed, a branch also is of a tree that rises from the earth.
