This means "Brahman is known only through the scriptures [revelation]". It is a verse from Vedanta-sutra (1.1.3). Yoni means source or womb, but I don'\t know what the '-tvat' bit means. Would there be more information in the Vedabase? Ys., Rama Kesava dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Dear vaishnavas My humble comment: tvat is used to state that this is the quality of something. Like the quality which can not be separated from the thing. Like fire is burning, water is liquid. YHS DKD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
