Sūtra translation
And because the study of scripture is such (general i.e., extending over the whole), indeed on account of the injunc- tion being such with regard to it, and because there is eligibi- lity for observing all the permitted (enjoined) • duties, and for understanding alt scripture.
The injunction or rule, “ The ’ sacred study (of the Vedas) should be made ” (T.A. IL 15), is general, i.e., applicable to all (i-e., every one entitled to study the Vedas may study all of them and it is not restricted to a parti- cular branch). And from the Srnriti indicated by the term * indeed,’ viz., “ By the twice born the whole Veda is to be studied and understood with all its hidden meaning.” And all those that study and understand the Vedas are also fit for properly observing the duties prescribed in them as conveyed by the following: “ Every person ought (to the best of his powers) to do duties daily in the way defined by all the Vedas ; for, from it (such obser- vance) the highest good (bliss) results. The division of the Vedas into branches is due to the incapability (of the students generally); for all persons (the twice born) are notable to discharge all the duties (prescribed); and accordingly Vyasa has instituted the division of the Vedas and the division of duties.”
