Wherefrom words turn back,
Together with the mind, not having attained—
The bliss of Brahma he who knows,
Fears not at any time at all.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

This, indeed, is its bodily self (*śarīra-ātman*), as of the former.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

Verily, other than and within that one that consists of mind is a self that consists of understanding (*vijñāna-maya*). By that this is filled. This, verily, has the form of a person. According to that one's personal form is this one with the form of a person. Faith (*śraddhā*) is its head; the right (*ṛta*), the right side; the true (*satya*), the left side; contemplation (*yoga*), the body (*ātman*); might (*mahas*), the lower part, the foundation.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

As to that there is also this verse:—
