Fourth kośa: vijñānamaya. The intellect-sheath. Its head is faith; its self is yoga. Vijñāna conducts sacrifice; gods worship it as the eldest. Knowing vijñāna as Brahman, one frees from sin.
मनोमय के भीतर एक और अन्तरात्मा है — विज्ञान-मय। श्रद्धा ही इसका शिर; ऋत दक्षिण पक्ष; सत्य उत्तर पक्ष; योग आत्मा; महः पुच्छ। श्लोक — "विज्ञान यज्ञ करता है; कर्म भी करता है; सब देव विज्ञान को ज्येष्ठ ब्रह्म मानकर उपासते हैं। जो विज्ञान को ब्रह्म-रूप जानकर उससे प्रमाद नहीं करता — वह शरीर के पापों को त्यागकर सब कामनाएँ प्राप्त करता है।"
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
Within the manomaya is another inner self, made of vijñāna (deep knowledge). Its head is śraddhā; right wing ṛta; left wing satya; its self is yoga; its tail is mahaḥ (greatness). Verse: 'Vijñāna performs sacrifice; performs deeds; all gods worship vijñāna as the eldest Brahman. If one knows vijñāna as Brahman, and does not stray from it — one leaves bodily sins behind and attains all desires.'

Simple explanation
Editorial explanation, not scripture
चतुर्थ कोश — विज्ञानमय। बुद्धि का आवरण। इसका शिर श्रद्धा है; इसका आत्मा योग है। विज्ञान यज्ञ करता है; देवता इसे ज्येष्ठ-ब्रह्म मानते हैं। विज्ञान को ब्रह्म जानकर व्यक्ति पाप से मुक्त होता है।
Modern reflection
Editorial reflection, not scripture
विवेक-बुद्धि (vijñāna) को सुदृढ़ करें। वह आन्तरिक निर्णायक है जिसके सामने अन्य सभी शक्तियाँ उत्तर देती हैं।

कार्यकारी संज्ञान (Executive cognition) संज्ञानात्मक पदानुक्रम में सर्वोच्च एकीकृत स्तर है। उपनिषद् की यह अन्तर्दृष्टि कि विज्ञान 'देवों में ज्येष्ठ' है — इसकी पूर्व-आभासक है।
