In plain words
The direct realization of our eternal freedom arises solely from the scriptural sentence, and by no other means. Yet even this comprehensive grasp of the sentence's meaning depends entirely upon a clear prior understanding of its individual words.
Close to the Sanskrit
The direct knowledge of eternal freedom arises from the sentence, not from elsewhere; even the knowledge of the sentence-meaning is preceded by the recollection of the word-meanings.
