CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 4.14.3
इदम् इति ह प्रतिजज्ञे ।
लोकान् वाव किल सोम्य ते ऽवोचन् ।
अहं तु ते तद् वक्ष्यामि यथा पुष्करपलाश आपो न श्लिष्यन्त एवम् एवंविदि पापं कर्म न श्लिष्यत इति ।
ब्रवीतु मे भगवान् इति ।
तस्मै होवाच ॥
idam iti ha pratijajñe ।
lokān vāva kila somya te ’vocan ।
ahaṃ tu te tad vakṣyāmi yathā puṣkarapalāśa āpo na śliṣyanta evam evaṃvidi pāpaṃ karma na śliṣyata iti ।
bravītu me bhagavān iti ।
tasmai hovāca ॥
He answered: 'This' (repeating some of what they had told him). The teacher said: 'My friend, they have taught you about the worlds, but I shall tell you this; and as water does not cling to a lotus leaf, so no evil deed clings to one who knows it.' He said: 'Sir, tell it me.'
