vijñātaṃ vijijñāsyamavijñātameta eva yatkiṃca vijñātaṃ vācastadrūpaṃ vāgghi vijñātā vāgenaṃ tadbhūtvāvati
These are what is known, what it is desirable to know, and what is unknown. Whatever is known is a form of the organ of speech, for it is the knower. The organ of speech protects him (who knows this) by becoming that (which is known).
