उपनिषदमब्रूमेति ॥ ४.७ ॥
When it was said, "Sir, tell us the Upaniṣad," we have indeed told you the Upaniṣad concerning Brahman.
Kena 4.8

सत्यमायतनम् ॥ ४.८ ॥
Austerity, self-control and action are its foundation; the Vedas are all its limbs; truth is its abode.

लोके ज्येये प्रतितिष्ठति प्रतितिष्ठति ॥ ४.९ ॥
