Verse 1
Chapter 2यदि मन्यसे सुवेदेति दहरमेवापि var दभ्रमेवापिनूनं त्वं वेत्थ ब्रह्मणो रूपम् ।यदस्य त्वं यदस्य देवेष्वथ नुमीमाँस्यमेव ते मन्ये विदितम् ॥ १॥
yadi manyase suvedeti daharamevāpi var dabhramevāpinūnaṃ tvaṃ vettha brahmaṇo rūpam .yadasya tvaṃ yadasya deveṣvatha numīmām̐syameva te manye viditam .. 1..
1 The teacher said: If you think: “I know Brahman well,” then surely you know but little of Its form; you know only Its form as conditioned by man or by the gods. Therefore Brahman, even now, is worthy of your inquiry.
Verse 2
नाहं मन्ये सुवेदेति नो न वेदेति वेद च ।यो नस्तद्वेद तद्वेद नो न वेदेति वेद च ॥ २॥
nāhaṃ manye suvedeti no na vedeti veda ca .yo nastadveda tadveda no na vedeti veda ca .. 2..
2 The disciple said: I think I know Brahman. I do not think I know It well, nor do I think I do not know It. He among us who knows the meaning of “Neither do I not know, nor do I know”-knows Brahman.
Verse 3
यस्यामतं तस्य मतं मतं यस्य न वेद सः ।अविज्ञातं विजानतां विज्ञातमविजानताम् ॥ ३॥
yasyāmataṃ tasya mataṃ mataṃ yasya na veda saḥ .avijñātaṃ vijānatāṃ vijñātamavijānatām .. 3..
3 He by whom Brahman is not known, knows It; he by whom It is known, knows It not. It is not known by those who know It; It is known by those who do not know It.
Verse 4
प्रतिबोधविदितं मतममृतत्वं हि विन्दते ।आत्मना विन्दते वीर्यं विद्यया विन्दतेऽमृतम् ॥ ४॥
pratibodhaviditaṃ matamamṛtatvaṃ hi vindate .ātmanā vindate vīryaṃ vidyayā vindate’mṛtam .. 4..
4 Brahman is known when It is realised in every state of mind; for by such Knowledge one attains Immortality. By Atman one obtains strength; by Knowledge, Immortality
Verse 5
इह चेदवेदीदथ सत्यमस्तिन चेदिहावेदीन्महती विनष्टिः ।भूतेषु भूतेषु विचित्य धीराःप्रेत्यास्माल्लोकादमृता भवन्ति ॥ ५॥॥ इति केनोपनिषदि द्वितीयः खण्डः ॥
iha cedavedīdatha satyamastina cedihāvedīnmahatī vinaṣṭiḥ .bhūteṣu bhūteṣu vicitya dhīrāḥpretyāsmāllokādamṛtā bhavanti .. 5.... iti kenopaniṣadi dvitīyaḥ khaṇḍaḥ ..
5 If a man knows Atman here, he then attains the true goal of life. If he does not know It here, a great destruction awaits him. Having realised the Self in every being, the wise relinquish the world and become immortal.
