अर्थMeaning
'As a mass of salt has neither inside nor outside, but is altogether a mass of taste, thus indeed has that Self neither inside nor outside, but is altogether a mass of knowledge; and having risen from out these elements, vanishes again in them. When he has departed, there is no more knowledge (name), I say, O Maitreyî,'--thus spoke Yâgñavalkya.

व्याख्याVyakhya
'जैसे नमक का डला भीतर-बाहर के भेद से रहित, सम्पूर्ण रूप से रस (स्वाद) का घन ही है, वैसे ही, अरी, यह आत्मा भीतर-बाहर के भेद से रहित, सम्पूर्ण रूप से प्रज्ञान (चैतन्य) का घन ही है। यह इन भूतों से (पृथक्-सा) उठकर इन्हीं के साथ (नष्ट होते-से) लीन हो जाता है। मरने के बाद (विशेष) संज्ञा नहीं रहती, अरी, यह मैं कहता हूँ।' ऐसा याज्ञवल्क्य ने कहा।
