Verse 46

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ४६ ॥

In plain words

“Then what are the Veda’s words for? What is a Guru for?” No, that question will not stand. The śruti sang it out: the one who has a teacher is the one who comes to know.

Close to the Sanskrit

“Hence, what would be accomplished by the words of the Veda, by a Guru?”—that is not fitting; for “the person who has a teacher knows”—thus did the śruti sing.
