तद्ध तद्वनं नाम तद्वनमित्युपासितव्यं स य एतदेवं वेदाभि हैनं सर्वाणि भूतानि संवाञ्छन्ति ॥६॥
यो वा एतामेवं वेदापहत्य पाप्मानमनन्ते स्वर्गे लोके ज्येये प्रतितिष्ठति प्रतितिष्ठति ॥९॥

jyeye pratitiṣṭhati pratitiṣṭhati. 9

Kenopanishad: 4. 6, 9

The name of That is “That Delight”; as That Delight one should follow after It. He who so knows That, towards him verily all existences yearn. (6)

He who knows this knowledge, smites evil away from him and in that vaster world and infinite heaven finds his foundation, yea, he finds his foundation. (9)

(Translation by Sri Aurobindo)
