The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Chāndogyopaniṣadbhāṣyam

Verse 367

गोअश्वमिह महिमेत्याचक्षते हस्तिहिरण्यं दासभार्यं क्षेत्राण्यायतनानीति नाहमेवं ब्रवीमि ब्रवीमीति होवाचान्यो ह्यन्यस्मिन्प्रतिष्ठित इति ॥ २ ॥

In plain words

People call cows and horses greatness here, and elephants, gold, servants, wives, fields, and homes. But I do not speak of greatness in that way—for everything worldly rests upon something else.

Close to the Sanskrit

Cows and horses here they call greatness, elephants and gold, servants and wives, fields and abodes. Not I thus speak, thus he said, for another is established in another.
