# Kena Upanishad 2.5

Kenopaniṣad 2.5

- **Language:** Sanskrit

### [2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.kena.2.5)

iha ced avedīd  
atha satyam asti  
na ced ihāvedīn  
mahatī vinaṣṭiḥ  
bhūteṣu bhūteṣu vicitya dhīrāḥ  
pretyāsmāl lokād  
amṛtā bhavanti

> 13 (5). If one have known \[It\] here, then there is truth. If one have known \[It\] not here, great is the destruction (vinaṣṭi). Discerning \[It\] in every single being, the wise, On departing from this world, become immortal.
