In plain words

Indeed, there is no gain in this world superior to the realization of the Self; that gain comes from this teaching, and from nowhere else. This realization of your true nature is greater even than the kingdom of Indra. Do not impart it without first examining the seeker with diligent care.

There is no gain here higher than gaining one’s own nature; it comes from this teaching, not elsewhere. This gain of one’s own nature, greater even than Indra’s sovereignty, is not to be imparted without carefully examining the recipient.
