ABSTRACT

For though from different members born , All castes alike from Brahmfi spring, And so are Brahmans all, 0 king. From lips of all th e sacred word, Recited, too, is ever heard . Of t ha t blest word now learn the core, And live in error sunk no more. This word that deepest truth mak es known , That Brahma and the world are one. Th e lack of kn owledge know to be The source of mortals' misery; This brings them back again to earth In ever vary ing forms of birth. Seek, th erefore, knowledge : wheresoe 'er Thou seekest, thou sha lt find it th ere. To no one class is tru th confined ; It lightens even t he Sudra's mind. Who ever gains it , high or low, Redeemed, no change shall ever know.
