BrihadArUpa3	1 Then Uddalaka, the son of Aruna, asked him. Yajnavalkya said, in Madra we lived in the house of Patanchala Kapya (descendant of Kapi), studying the scriptures on sacrifices. His Wife was possessed by a Gandharva. We asked him who he was. He said, Kabandha", the son of Atharvan". He said to Patanchala Kapya and those who studied the scriptures on sacrifices, Hapya", do you know that Sutra by which this life, the next life and all beings are held together Patanchala Kapya said, "I do not know it, sir". The Gandharva said to him and the students, Kapya", do you know that Internal Ruler who controls this and the next life and all beings from within Patanchala Kapya said, "I do not know Him, sir". The Gandharva said to him and the students, "He who knows that Sutra and that Internal Ruler as above indeed knows Brahman, knows the worlds, knows the Devas, knows the Vedas, knows beings, knows the self, and knows everything". He explained it all to them. I know it. If you, Yajnavalkya, do not know that Sutra and that Internal Ruler, and still take away the cows that belong only to the knowers of Brahman, your head shall fall off I know, O Gautama, that Sutra and that Internal Ruler Any one can say, "I know, I know". Tell us what you know.
