BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 3.9.25

अहल्लिकेति होवाच याज्ञवल्क्यः ।
यत्रैतद् अन्यत्रास्मन् मन्यासै ।
यद् ध्य् एतद् अन्यत्रास्मत् स्याच् छ्वानो वैनद् अद्युर् वयांसि वैनद् विमथ्नीरन्न् इति ॥

ahalliketi hovāca yājñavalkyaḥ ।
yatraitad anyatrāsman manyāsai ।
yad dhy etad anyatrāsmat syāc chvāno vainad adyur vayāṃsi vainad vimathnīrann iti ॥

Yâgñavalkya said: 'O Ahallika, when you think the heart could be anywhere else away from us, if it were away from us, the dogs might eat it, or the birds tear it.'
