Verse 2.33

Sanskrit text and transliteration:

ब्रह्मैवात्र परं ग्राह्यं तज्ज्ञानं नान्यसिद्धये ।
अन्यज्ज्ञानं हि नान्यस्य क्वचिदप्याप्तये यतः ॥ ३३ ॥

brahmaivātra paraṃ grāhyaṃ tajjñānaṃ nānyasiddhaye |
anyajjñānaṃ hi nānyasya kvacidapyāptaye yataḥ || 33 ||

English translation of verse 2.33:

Here (in the text Brahmavid āpnoti param) Brahman alone is meant by the word “supreme” (param). Brahmanknowledge cannot be a means to the attainment of something else; for the knowledge of one thing cannot, indeed, anywhere be the means to the attainment of something else.
