|| iti saptamaḥ khaṇḍaḥ ||2. ‘One who worships vijñāna as Brahman attains the vijñānamaya and jñānamaya worlds. One who worships vijñāna as Brahman can do what he pleases within the limits of vijñāna.’ Nārada asked, ‘Sir, is there anything higher than vijñāna?’ ‘Of course there is something higher than vijñāna,’ replied Sanatkumāra. Nārada then said, ‘Sir, please explain that to me’.
Word-for-word explanation:
Saḥ yaḥ, he who; vijñānam brahma iti upāste, worships vijñāna [i.e., the practical application of knowledge] as Brahman; saḥ vai vijñānavataḥ jñānavataḥ lokān abhisidhyati, attains the vijñānamaya and jñānamaya worlds; yāvat vijñānasya gatam, as far as vijñāna goes; tatra, that far; asya yathā-kāmacāraḥ bhavati, as he wishes he can go; yaḥ vijñānam brahma iti upāste, he who worships vijñāna as Brahman; bhagavaḥ, sir; vijñānāt bhūyaḥ asti iti, is there anything higher than vijñāna; vijñānāt vāva bhūyaḥ asti iti, there is certainly something higher than vijñāna; bhagavān, sir; tat me bravītu iti, please explain it to me.
