Know thou the soul (\_ātman\_, self) as riding in a chariot, The body as the chariot. Know thou the intellect (\_buddhi\_) as the chariot-driver, And the mind (\_manas\_) as the reins. 4. The senses (\_indriya\_), they say, are the horses ; The objects of sense, what they range over. The self combined with senses and mind Wise men call ‘the enjoyer’ (\_bhoktṛ\_). 5. He who has not understanding (\_a-vijñāna\_), Whose mind is not constantly held firm— His senses are uncontrolled, Like the vicious horses of a chariot-driver. 6. He, however, who has understanding, Whose mind is constantly held firm— His senses are under control, Like the good horses of a chariot-driver. > — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads - [Previous: 3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.3.3) - [Next: 3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.3.5) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.3) ## Translations (1) - [The Thirteen Principal Upanishads](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha~en-hume.1.3.p6) — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, English ## Commentaries (7) - [Kaṭhopaniṣadbhāṣya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha!sankara.135) — Śaṅkara, Sanskrit - [Kaṭhaprakāśikā (Raṅgarāmānuja)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha!rangaramanuja.3.4) — Raṅgarāmānuja Muni 1500, Sanskrit - [Maṇiprabhā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha!amaradasa.3.4) — Amaradāsa, Sanskrit - [Commentary of Śaṅkarācārya of Śaṅkarācārya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha!sankaracarya.3.4) — Śaṅkarācārya, Sanskrit - [Commentary of Upaniṣadbrahmayogin](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha!upanisadbrahmayogin) — Upaniṣadbrahmayogin, Sanskrit - [Ṭīkā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha!tika) — Sanskrit - [Padapāṭha (sandhi-resolved text, TITUS)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha!padapatha) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (8) - [History of Dharmaśāstra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India)](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v7.c94.23) — P.
