> 10. When cease the five  
> \[Sense-\]knowledges, together with the mind (manas),  
> — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

> And the intellect (\_buddhi\_) stirs not— That, they say, is the highest course. 11. This they consider as Yoga— The firm holding back of the senses. Then one becomes undistracted. Yoga, truly, is the origin and the end.  
> — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
