श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
बोधेन बोधतामेति बोधशब्दस्तु बोध्यताम् ।
भवद्विषयमेवायमुचितो नास्मदादिषु ॥ ४३ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
bodhena bodhatāmeti bodhaśabdastu bodhyatām |
bhavadviṣayamevāyamucito nāsmadādiṣu || 43 ||

Vasishtha replied:—It is by your act of knowing of God, that you have or get your knowledge of Him; therefore the word is taken in its active sense by you and others (Who have to know a thing before it is known to them). But with us (or sages like ourselves), who are possest of our intuitive knowledge of ourselves as the deity, it is but a self-reflexive verb.
