When an inquisitive person comes to understand this knowledge, he has nothing further to know. After all, one who has drunk the most palatable nectar cannot remain thirsty.

Translation
When an inquisitive person comes to understand this knowledge, he has nothing further to know. After all, one who has drunk sweet nectar cannot drink anything else.
Though the devotee who has reached success by bhakti has no need of knowledge, if some devotee happens to ask about knowledge, he should consult these verses because they contain knowledge. Having drunk nectar, there is no other sweet drink that can be drunk.

When an inquisitive person understands this, there is nothing further to know; one who has drunk the most palatable nectar cannot remain thirsty. Curiosity terminates in this knowledge.
Reflection Questions
- What other 'knowings' am I still thirsty for that this knowledge would satisfy?
- Where am I drinking and still feeling thirsty?
