'This has been told by a verse (Rik): "This eternal greatness of the Brahmana does not grow larger by work, nor does it grow smaller. Let man try to find (know) its trace, for having found (known) it, he is not sullied by any evil deed." 'He therefore that knows it, after having become quiet, subdued, satisfied, patient, and collected, sees self in Self, sees all as Self. Evil does not overcome him, he overcomes all evil. Evil does not burn him, he burns all evil. Free from evil, free from spots, free from doubt, he becomes a (true) Brahmana; this is the Brahma-world, O King,'—thus spoke Yagnavalkya. Ganaka Vaideha said: 'Sir, I give you the Videhas, and also myself, to be together your slaves.'

In plain words: The greatness of the knower does not grow through work or shrink because of it. Whoever knows the Self becomes calm, controlled, content, patient and focused, and sees the Self in everything. Evil cannot overcome or burn him. Free from doubt, he becomes a true knower of Brahman. When Yajnavalkya finishes, King Janaka offers himself and his whole kingdom of Videha to serve him.
