yadā vai vijānāty atha satyaṃ vadati \
nāvijānan satyaṃ vadati \
vijānann eva satyaṃ vadati \
vijñānaṃ tv eva vijijñāsitavyam iti \
vijñānaṃ bhagavo vijijñāsa iti \\717.1\
'When one understands, then alone does one declare the truth.' Without understanding, one does not declare the truth. Only he who understands declares the truth. But one must desire to understand understanding.' 'Revered sir, I desire to understand understanding.'
