Kaushitaki Brahmana • Chapter 3 • Shloka 8
न वाचं विजिज्ञासीत वक्तारं विद्यान्न गन्धं विजिज्ञासीत धातारं विद्यान्न रूपं विजिज्ञासीत रूपविद्यं विद्यान्न शब्दं विजिज्ञासीत श्रोतारं विद्यान्त्रान्त्ररसं विजिज्ञासीतान्नरसस्य विज्ञातारं विद्यान्न कर्म विजिज्ञासीत कर्तारं विद्यान्न सुखदुःखे विजिज्ञासीत सुखदुःखयोर्विज्ञातारे विद्यान्नानन्दं न रतिं न प्रजातिं विजिज्ञासीतानन्दस्य रतेः प्रजातेर्विज्ञातारं विद्यान्नेत्यां विजिज्ञासीतैतारं विद्यात्। न मनो विजिज्ञासीत मन्तारं विद्यात्। ता वा एता दशैव भूतमात्रा अधिप्रज्ञं दश प्रज्ञामात्रा अधिभूतं यद्धि भूतमात्रा न स्युर्न प्रज्ञामात्राः स्युर्यद्वा प्रज्ञामात्रा न स्युर्न भूतमात्राः स्युः ॥
One should not seek to know speech; one should know the speaker. One should not seek to know smell; one should know the smeller. One should not seek to know form; one should know the seer of form. One should not seek to know sound; one should know the hearer. One should not seek to know taste; one should know the knower of taste. One should not seek to know action; one should know the doer. One should not seek to know pleasure and pain; one should know the experiencer of pleasure and pain. One should not seek to know joy, delight, and procreation; one should know the knower of joy, delight, and procreation. One should not seek to know movement; one should know the mover. One should not seek to know the mind; one should know the thinker. These are the ten elements (objects, bhūta-mātrās) dependent upon consciousness. And these are the ten faculties (prajñā-mātrās) dependent upon objects. If the objects did not exist, the faculties would not exist. And if the faculties did not exist, the objects would not exist (as objects of experience).
