तदेतत् सत्यमृषिरङ्गिराः
पुरोवाच नैतदचीर्णव्रतोऽधीते ।
नमः परमऋषिभ्यो नमः परमऋषिभ्यः ॥ ११॥
॥ इति मुण्डकोपनिषदि तृतीयमुण्डके द्वितीयः खण्डः ॥
॥ इत्यथर्ववेदीय मुण्डकोपनिषत्समाप्ता ॥

tadetat satyamṛṣiraṅgirāḥ
purovāca naitadacīrṇavrato’dhīte .
namaḥ paramaṛṣibhyo namaḥ paramaṛṣibhyaḥ .. 11..
.. iti muṇḍakopaniṣadi tṛtīyamuṇḍake dvitīyaḥ khaṇḍaḥ ..
.. ityatharvavedīya muṇḍakopaniṣatsamāptā ..

11 Thus the seer Angiras declared this truth in olden times. A man who has not performed the vow should not read it. Salutation to the great seers! Salutation to the great seers!

Sri Shankara’s Commentary (Bhashya) translated by S. Sitarama Sastri

Com.—This undecaying and true purusha did the seer, known as Angiras, teach in ancient days to Saunaka who had duly approached him and questioned him (about this). The meaning is that, similarly, any other also should teach the same to one who longs for bliss and seeks emancipation and who with that end in view has duly approached the preceptor. This knowledge in the form of a book, no one who has not observed the vow, studies; for it is knowledge, only in those who observe the vow, that bears fruit. Thus ends the knowledge of Brahman which has been handed down from Brahma and the rest from preceptor to disciple. Prostration to those sages, Brahma and the rest, who have directly seen the Brahman and realised him. Prostration again to them; the repetition is both to indicate great solicitude and the fact that the Mundakopanishad here ends.
