TRANSLATION

The Supreme Being, the Personality of Godhead, is the essence
of all Vedic knowledge, the root of all religious principles, and the
memory of great authorities. O King Yudhisthira, this principle of
religion is to be understood as evidence. On the basis of this
religious principle, everything is satisfied, including one’s mind,
soul and even one’s body.
