To the BRAHMANA who has known the Self, all the VEDAS are of so much use, as is a reservoir of water in a place where there is flood everywhere.

yāvān = all that; arthaḥ = is meant; udapāne = in a well of water; sarvataḥ = in all respects; samplutodake = in a great reservoir of water; tāvān = similarly; sarveṣu = in all; vedeṣu = Vedic literatures; brāhmaṇasya = of the man who knows the Supreme Brahman; vijānataḥ = who is in complete knowledge.;
