yat padam = the goal which; sarve vedā = all the Vedas; āmananti = propound; ca = and; yat = that which; sarvāṇi tapāṁsi = all the austerities; vadanti = speak of [are meant for the attainment of]; yat icchantaḥ = desiring which; caranti = (they) practise; brahmacaryam = the religious life [which that consists either in residence (for study) in the house of the teacher or some other kind of observance meant for the attainment of Brahman]; bravīmi = I tell; te = you; saṅgraheṇa = in brief; tat = that goal; om iti etat = OM it is. |
Yama said: The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at and which men desire when they lead the life of continence, I will tell you briefly: it is Om.
