BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 4.4.23

तद् एतद् ऋचाभ्युक्तम् --
एष नित्यो महिमा ब्राह्मणस्य न कर्मणा वर्धते नो कनीयान् ।
तस्यैव स्यात् पदवित्तं विदित्वा न लिप्यते कर्मणा पापकेनेति ।
तस्माद् एवंविच् छान्तो दान्त उपरतस् तितिक्षुः समाहितो भूत्वात्मन्य् एवात्मानं पश्यति ।
सर्वम् आत्मानं पश्यति ।
नैनं पाप्मा तरति ।
सर्वं पाप्मानं तरति ।
नैनं पाप्मा तपति ।
सर्वं पाप्मानं तपति ।
विपापो विरजो ऽविचिकित्सो ब्राह्मणो भवति ।
एष ब्रह्मलोकः सम्राट् ।
एनं प्रापितो ऽसीति होवाच याज्ञवल्क्यः ।
सो ऽहं भगवते विदेहान् ददामि माम् चापि सह दास्यायेति ॥

'This has been told by a verse (Rik): "This eternal greatness of the Brâhmana does not grow larger by work, nor does it grow smaller. Let man try to find (know) its trace, for having found (known) it, he is not sullied by any evil deed." 'He therefore that knows it, after having become quiet, subdued, satisfied, patient, and collected, sees self in Self, sees all as Self. Evil does not overcome him, he overcomes all evil. Evil does not burn him, he burns all evil. Free from evil, free from spots, free from doubt, he becomes a (true) Brâhmana; this is the Brahma-world, O King,'--thus spoke Yâgñavalkya. Ganaka Vaideha said: 'Sir, I give you the Videhas, and also myself, to be together your slaves.'
