' Let us hear what anybody may have told you/ [con- tinued Yajnavalkya]. £ As a man might say that he had a mother, that he had a father, that he had a teacher, so did that Jabala say, "Brahma is mind." For he might have thought, "What can one have who is without a mind? " But did he tell you Its^seat and support?' ' He did not tell me. ' Verily, Yajnavalkya, do you here tell us.' £ Its seat is just the mind; Its support, space. One should worship It as the blissful (ananda).' c What is Its blissfulness, Yajnavalkya? ' 'Just the mind, your Majesty/ said he. c Verily, your Majesty, by the mind one betakes himself to a woman. A son like himself is born of her. He is bliss. Verily, your Majesty, the highest Brahma is mind. Mind does not desert him who, knowing this, worships it as such. All things run unto him. He, becoming a god, goes to the gods/ ' I will give you a thousand cows with a bull as large as an elephant/ said Janaka, [king] of Videha. Yajnavalkya replied: 'My father thought that without having instructed one should not accept.'
