BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 3.1.9

याज्ञवल्क्येति होवाच -- कतिभिर् अयम् अद्य ब्रह्मा यज्ञं दक्षिणतो देवताभिर् गोपायतीति ।
एकयेति ।
कतमा सैकेति ।
मन एवेति ।
अनन्तं वै मनो ऽनन्ता विश्वे देवाः ।
अनन्तम् एव स तेन लोकं जयति ॥

yājñavalkyeti hovāca -- katibhir ayam adya brahmā yajñaṃ dakṣiṇato devatābhir gopāyatīti ।
ekayeti ।
katamā saiketi ।
mana eveti ।
anantaṃ vai mano ’nantā viśve devāḥ ।
anantam eva sa tena lokaṃ jayati ॥

'Yâgñavalkya,' he said, 'with how many deities does the Brahman priest on the right protect to-day this sacrifice?' 'By one,' replied Yâgñavalkya. 'And which is it?' 'The mind alone; for the mind is endless, and the Visvedevas are endless, and he thereby gains the endless world.'
