<a id="line-1"></a>वंदनीय हैं उपनिषद, यामें ज्ञान महान ।  
<a id="line-2"></a>श्याम प्रेम बिनु ज्ञान सो, प्राणहीन तनु जान ॥८८॥

Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - उपनिषत् भगवत्स्वरूप हैं। अतः वंदनीय हैं। उनमें अनंत ज्ञान भरा  
<a id="line-4"></a>पड़ा है। किंतु उनसे श्रीकृष्ण प्रेम नहीं बढ़ता। अतः ऐसा ज्ञान, प्राणहीन शरीर  
<a id="line-5"></a>के समान है।

<a id="line-6"></a>Vanḍaniya haiṇ Upanishaḍ, yȧmeṇ gyȧn mahȧn.  
<a id="line-7"></a>Shyȧm prem binu gyȧn so, prȧṅheen ṭanu jȧn. [88]

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-8"></a>The Upnishads are to be respected because they contain great  
<a id="line-9"></a>Divine knowledge (which reveals the true futility of worldly  
<a id="line-10"></a>pleasures). But this knowledge doesn’t induce love for Krishn.  
<a id="line-11"></a>Hence this knowledge is like a body without life (because Krishn  
<a id="line-12"></a>love is the life aspect of all the Divine knowledges).
