ब्रह्मन्को विद्याको डुङ्गाले आफ्नो भित्रको अँध्यारो महासागर छिटो पार हुन्छ।
Where it sits
In Upadeśasāhasrī (उपदेशसाहस्री), prakaraṇa (प्रकरण) 17. Samyaṅmati (सम्यङ्मति). Right thought. The line is short. śruteḥ (श्रुतेः) from 17.51 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: brahmavidyā-plave-nāśu (ब्रह्मविद्या-प्लवे-नाशु) + svāntadhvāntamahodadhim (स्वान्तध्वान्तमहोदधिम्)
