A short additional verse with two titles of abundance: annādaḥ — "the eater of food" (everything eaten in every being is in the last resort eaten by Him — recall "the eater of all", Aditi, 1.2.5) — and vasudānaḥ — "the giver of wealth": everything that anyone has ever received was issued from His hand.
And a modest promise: the knower "obtains wealth" — not because knowledge converts into coin, but because one who has recognised the Giver stops standing with his back to the source. The Upaniṣad does not disdain the earthly fruit: the Lord of all is the lord of sufficiency too; poverty of spirit is under no obligation to keep an empty barn.
