Reader question

Why is विद्धि translated as "assimilate", instead of "know it"?

विद् ज्ञाने is the root

  1. Admin Answered

    The translator wishes to convey that the process of praṇipāta, paripraśna, and sevā, should be used to absorb knowledge [with a view of practicing it], not just know it like you would read a book.
