Tatra niratisayam sarvajnabljam

This is the twenty fifth yogic sutra that is contained in Patanjali Yoga Sutras.

The tatra niratisayam sarvajnabljam yogic sutra states that God is the unsurpassed kernel of every knowledge, the Supreme Soul who is ubiquitous, possessing infinite knowledge, Who needs no further toil to perceive creation. But a mortal yogi can never take the place of Almighty to become the seed of all cognition.

Tatra therein, in Him
niratisayam matchless, unsurpassed, unrivalled sarvajna all knowing, omniscient, all wise
bijam a seed, source, cause, origin, beginning

God is the unexcelled seed of all knowledge.

In Him rests the unparalleled, unmatchable source of all knowledge. He is the core of omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence.

In God abides all creation. He is eternal and one. He is Himself the seed of all knowledge, the seed of omniscience, while the yogi achieves infinite knowledge, but not the seed of that knowledge.
