Tap any word for its meaning.

US-P11.002ab एतावद् ध्यमृतत्वं न किंचिदन्यत् सहायकम् ।US-P11.002cd ज्ञानस्येति ब्रुवच्छास्त्रं सलिङ्गं कर्म बाधते ॥

In plain words

"This much, and only this, is immortality — nothing else lends knowledge a hand." When scripture says that, it cancels ritual action outright, and the badges that come with it.

Close to the Sanskrit

"This much indeed is immortality; nothing else whatsoever is a helper of knowledge" — scripture, saying thus, sets aside action along with its marks.
