Kena 2.1
यदि मन्यसे सुवेदेति दहरमेवापि
नूनं त्वं वेत्थ ब्रह्मणो रूपम् ।
यदस्य त्वं यदस्य देवेष्वथ नु
मीमाँस्येमेव ते मन्ये विदितम् ॥ २.१ ॥
If you think, "I know it well," then surely you know only a small part of brahman's form. Its form, and its form among the gods, is still to be investigated; I think you have known it.
Kena 2.2
नाहं मन्ये सुवेदेति नो न वेदेति वेद च ।
यो नस्तद्वेद तद्वेद नो न वेदेति वेद च ॥ २.२ ॥
"I do not think I know it well," nor "I do not know it," nor "I know it" either. Whoever among us knows it, knows it; he knows both "I do not know it" and "I know it."
Kena 2.3
यस्यामतं तस्य मतं मतं यस्य न वेद सः ।
अविज्ञातं विजानतां विज्ञातमविजानताम् ॥ २.३ ॥
For him to whom it is not thought, it is thought; he to whom it is thought does not know it. It is unknown to those who know it; it is known to those who do not know it.
Kena 2.4
प्रतिबोधविदितं मतममृतत्वं हि विन्दते ।
आत्मना विन्दते वीर्यं विद्यया विन्दतेऽमृतम् ॥ २.४ ॥
He who knows him in every thing and holds him in thought attains immortality indeed. Through the ātman he attains strength; through knowledge he attains immortality.
Kena 2.5
इह चेदवेदीदथ सत्यमस्ति
न चेदिहावेदीन्महती विनष्टिः ।
भूतेषु भूतेषु विचित्य धीराः
प्रेत्यास्माल्लोकादमृता भवन्ति ॥ २.५ ॥
If one knows him here, that is truth; if one does not know him here, it is a great loss. Having discerned him in all beings, the wise, departing from this world, become immortal.
