यथा सोम्यैकेन लोहमणिना सर्वं लोहमयं विज्ञातं स्याद्वाचारम्भणं विकारो नामधेयं लोहमित्येव सत्यम् ॥ ६.१.५ ॥
yathā somyaikena lohamaṇinā sarvaṃ lohamayaṃ vijñātaṃ syādvācārambhaṇaṃ vikāro nāmadheyaṃ lohamityeva satyam || 6.1.5 ||
5. O Somya, it is like this: By knowing a single lump of gold you know all objects made of gold. All changes are mere words, in name only. But gold is the reality.
Word-for-word explanation:
Somya, young man; yathā, just as; ekena lohamaṇinā, from one single lump of gold; saryam lohamayam vijñātam, all objects made of gold [bangles, crowns, necklaces, etc.] are known; vācārambhaṇam nāmadheyam vikāraḥ, all changes are mere words, in name only; loham iti eva satyam, the gold is the reality.
