Verse 2.442

Sanskrit text and transliteration:

अतः परीक्ष्यते श्रुत्या तदिदानीं प्रयत्नतः ।
विद्वानेवैति नाविद्वान्यदा हीत्येवमाद्यया ॥ ४४२ ॥

ataḥ parīkṣyate śrutyā tadidānīṃ prayatnataḥ |
vidvānevaiti nāvidvānyadā hītyevamādyayā || 442 ||

English translation of verse 2.442:

Hence, the truth that only a wise man attains Brahman, and not an ignorant one, is established with great effort by śruti in the following passage beginning with yadā hi.

Notes:

The subsequent portion of the Upaniṣad beginning with yadā hyevaiṣa etasmin, etc., purports to prove that only a wise man attains Brahman by removing avidyā.
