4.19.1
yadi manyase su vedeti dahram evāpi nūnaṃ tvaṃ vettha brahmaṇo rūpaṃ yad asya tvaṃ yad asya deveṣu
atha nu mīmāṁsyam eva te manye 'viditam /
If you think: "I know [it] well," indeed you surely know only a small form of brahman—what of it is in you, and what of it is among the gods.
Therefore now it is indeed to be investigated by you. I think it is [not yet] understood.
4.19.2
nāham manye su vedeti no na vedeti veda ca
yo nas tad veda tad veda no na vedeti veda ca /
I do not think: "I know [it] well," nor: "I do not know." I know it too.
He among us who knows that, knows that; nor does he know: "I do not know," and yet he knows.
4.19.3
yasyāmataṃ tasya matam mataṃ yasya na veda saḥ
avijñātaṃ vijānatāṃ avijānatām /
He by whom it is unthought, to him it is thought; he to whom it is thought does not know.
It is unknown to those who know; [it is] known to those who do not know.
4.19.4
pratibodhaviditam matam amṛtatvaṃ hi vindate
ātmanā vindate vīryaṃ vidyayā vindate 'mṛtam /
When it is known with every awakening, it is comprehended, for [thereby] one finds immortality.
By the self one finds vigor; by knowledge one finds immortality.
4.19.5
iha ced avedīd atha satyam asti
na ced ihāvedīn mahatī vinaṣṭiḥ
bhūteṣu-bhūteṣu vivicya dhīrāḥ pretyāsmāl lokād amṛtā bhavanti /
daśame 'nuvāke dvitīyaḥ khaṇḍaḥ //
If one has known it here, then truth exists;
if one has not known it here, great is the destruction.
Distinguishing [it] in each and every being, the wise, departing from this world, become immortal.
The second khaṇḍa in the tenth anuvāka.
