अर्थMeaning
Next follows the handing over. When a man thinks he is going to depart, he says to his son: 'Thou art Brahman (the Veda, so far as acquired by the father); thou art the sacrifice (so far as performed by the father); thou art the world.' The son answers: 'I am Brahman, I am the sacrifice, I am the world.' Whatever has been learnt (by the father) that, taken as one, is Brahman. Whatever sacrifices there are, they, taken as one, are the sacrifice. Whatever worlds there are, they, taken as one, are the world. Verily here ends this (what has to be done by a father, viz. study, sacrifice, &c.) 'He (the son), being all this, preserved me from this world ,' thus he thinks. Therefore they call a son who is instructed (to do all this), a world-son (lokya), and therefore they instruct him. When a father who knows this, departs this world, then he enters into his son together with his own spirits (with speech, mind, and breath). If there is anything done amiss by the father, of all that the son delivers him, and therefore he is called Putra, son . By help of his son the father stands firm in this world . Then these divine immortal spirits (speech, mind, and breath) enter into him.

व्याख्याVyakhya
अब 'सम्प्रत्ति' (सौंपने की विधि) बताई जाती है। जब (पिता) जानता है कि अब वह जाने वाला है, तब पुत्र से कहता है, 'तुम ब्रह्म (वेद) हो, तुम यज्ञ हो, तुम लोक हो।' पुत्र उत्तर देता है, 'मैं ब्रह्म हूँ, मैं यज्ञ हूँ, मैं लोक हूँ।' जो कुछ अध्ययन किया गया है, उस सबकी एकता 'ब्रह्म' है; जो भी यज्ञ हैं, उन सबकी एकता 'यज्ञ' है; जो भी लोक हैं, उन सबकी एकता 'लोक' है। इतना ही यह सब (पिता का कर्तव्य) है। (पिता सोचता है,) 'यह (पुत्र) यह सब होकर मुझे इस (लोक) से बचाएगा।' इसलिए अनुशिष्ट (शिक्षित) पुत्र को 'लोक्य' (लोक दिलाने वाला) कहते हैं, और इसीलिए उसे शिक्षा देते हैं। जब ऐसा जानने वाला इस लोक से जाता है, तब वह इन्हीं प्राणों (वाणी, मन, प्राण) के साथ पुत्र में प्रवेश करता है। यदि उसके द्वारा कुछ भी भूल से (कर्तव्य) अधूरा रह गया हो, तो पुत्र उस सबसे उसे मुक्त करता है; इसीलिए उसका नाम 'पुत्र' है। वह पुत्र के द्वारा ही इस लोक में प्रतिष्ठित रहता है। तब ये दैवी, अमर प्राण उसमें प्रवेश करते हैं।
