CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 7.24.2

गो ऽश्वम् इह महिमेत्य् आचक्षते हस्तिहिरण्यं दासभार्यं क्षेत्राण्य् आयतनानीति ।
नाहम् एवं ब्रवीमि ।
ब्रवीमीति होवाच ।
अन्यो ह्य् अन्यस्मिन् प्रतिष्ठित इति ॥

go ’śvam iha mahimety ācakṣate hastihiraṇyaṃ dāsabhāryaṃ kṣetrāṇy āyatanānīti ।
nāham evaṃ bravīmi ।
bravīmīti hovāca ।
anyo hy anyasmin pratiṣṭhita iti ॥

'In the world they call cows and horses, elephants and gold, slaves, wives, fields and houses greatness. I do not mean this,' thus he spoke; 'for in that case one being (the possessor) rests in something else, (but the Infinite cannot rest in something different from itself)
