### [4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.isa.4)

anejadekaṃ manaso javīyo nainaddevā āpnuvanpūrvamarṣat  
taddhāvato'nyānatyeti tiṣṭhattasminnapo mātariśvā dadhāti

> It is unmoving, one, and faster than the mind. The senses could not overtake It, since It ran ahead. Remaining stationary, It outruns all other runners. It being there, Mātariśvā allots (or supports) all activities.  
> — Swami Gambhirananda 1957, Eight Upaniṣads, with the Commentary of Śaṅkarācārya
