BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 4.5.13

स यथा सैन्धवघनो ऽनन्तरो ऽबाह्यः कृत्स्नो रसघन एव ।
एवं वा अरे ऽयम् आत्मानन्तरो ऽबाह्यः कृत्स्नः प्रज्ञानघन एव ।
एतेभ्यो भूतेभ्यः समुत्थाय तान्य् एवानुविनयति ।
न प्रेत्य संज्ञास्तीत्य् अरे ब्रवीमि ।
इति होवाच याज्ञवल्क्यः ॥

sa yathā saindhavaghano ’nantaro ’bāhyaḥ kṛtsno rasaghana eva ।
evaṃ vā are ’yam ātmānantaro ’bāhyaḥ kṛtsnaḥ prajñānaghana eva ।
etebhyo bhūtebhyaḥ samutthāya tāny evānuvinayati ।
na pretya saṃjñāstīty are bravīmi ।
iti hovāca yājñavalkyaḥ ॥

'As a mass of salt has neither inside nor outside, but is altogether a mass of taste, thus indeed has that Self neither inside nor outside, but is altogether a mass of knowledge; and having risen from out these elements, vanishes again in them. When he has departed, there is no more knowledge (name), I say, O Maitreyî,'--thus spoke Yâgñavalkya.
