Having fully known that Ātman, whether among the inner divinities or among humans, what more can be heard? He who knows it, he who knows it, he who knows it.

The parijñāna (full/complete knowledge) of Ātman is so total that it renders further information-seeking meaningless. The avāntaradevatās (inner divinities/sensory gods) are the deities of the organs; even knowing Him through them is sufficient. The rhetorical question “what more can be heard?” (tat kiṃ… śrutaṃ syāt) suggests that all śruti (revealed scripture) has this sole purpose. In our yoga practice, this invites us to trust direct experience: once Truth is touched, texts become confirmation, not necessity. The triple repetition of “the knower” closes the first chapter with the same urgency it began: know, know, know.
