|| iti dvitīyaḥ khaṇḍaḥ ||2. ‘Anyone who worships speech as Brahman can do what he pleases within the limits of speech.’ Nārada asked, ‘Sir, is there anything higher than speech?’ ‘Of course there is something higher than speech,’ replied Sanatkumāra. Nārada then said, ‘Sir, please explain that to me’.
Word-for-word explanation:
Saḥ yah, he who; vācam brahma iti upāste, worships speech as Brahman; yāvat vācaḥ gatam, as far as the power of speech goes; tatra, that far; asya yathā-kāmacāraḥ bhavati, as he wishes he can go; yaḥ vācam brahma iti upāste, he who worships speech as Brahman; bhagavaḥ, sir; vācaḥ bhūyaḥ asti iti, is there anything higher than speech; vācaḥ vāva bhūyaḥ asti iti, there is certainly something higher than speech; bhagavān, sir; tat me bravītu iti, please explain it to me.
