वेदान्तसिद्धान्तनिरुक्तिरेषा ब्रह्मैव जीवः सकलं जगच्च ।
अखण्डरूपस्थितिरेव मोक्षः ब्रह्माद्वितीयं श्रुतयः प्रमाणम् ॥ ४७९ ॥

vedānta-siddhānta-niruktiresā
brahmaiva jīvaḥ sakalam jagacca |
akhandarūpasthitireva mokṣaḥ
brahmādvitiyam śrutayaḥ pramāṇam || 479 ||
(𝘝𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘬𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪 - 𝘚𝘳𝘪 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘉𝘩𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘱𝘢𝘥𝘢)

The conclusive assertion of Vedanta-siddhanta is that the jīva and the whole universe are Brahman only. Liberation is abiding in the form of the infinite. The śrutis declare that Brahman is one without a second.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗱𝗴𝘂𝗿𝘂:
vedānta-siddhāntaniruktih: the conclusion established by Vedānta is Vedāntasiddhānta.

niruktih: nirnayah: conclusive assertion, the brief sound which produces it in the mind.

The conclusion is this: The jiva is Brahman only; the entire world too is Brahman only. Moksa is abiding in infinitude; that is, Brahman is without a second. For all this the śrutis are the ground. It is said 'pramāņam' in the singular because though the śrutis are many, the knowledge generated by them all is identical.

vedānta-siddhanta-niruktiresā may be understood in two ways. It means either the compact statement of the conclusion established by Vedanta, or the exposition of the conclusive meaning in the midst of the different interpretations by many people. The śrutis under reference are those like tattvamasi, sarvam khalvidam brahma, brahmaivedam sarvam, ekamevādvitiyam, etc.: "That thou art; verily all this is Brahman; all this is Brahman only; one only without a second" etc.
