Verse 5.79.2

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
अनाद्यन्तावभासात्मा परमात्मेह विद्यते ।
इत्येको निश्चयः स्फारः सम्यग्ज्ञानं विदुर्बुधाः ॥ २ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
anādyantāvabhāsātmā paramātmeha vidyate |
ityeko niścayaḥ sphāraḥ samyagjñānaṃ vidurbudhāḥ || 2 ||

Vasishtha replied:—By perfect knowledge is meant the firm belief of a man, in the existence of one self manifest or Supreme Soul, that is without its beginning and end. This is what the wise mean by the term "full or perfect knowledge."
