The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 5 · Khaṇḍa 10

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 5.10.9

स्तेनो हिरण्यस्य सुरां पिबंश् च ।
गुरोस् तल्पम् आवसन् ब्रह्महा च ।
एते पतन्ति चत्वारः पञ्चमश् चाचरंस् तैर् इति ॥

steno hiraṇyasya surāṃ pibaṃś ca ।
guros talpam āvasan brahmahā ca ।
ete patanti catvāraḥ pañcamaś cācaraṃs tair iti ॥

'A man who steals gold, who drinks spirits, who dishonours his Guru's bed, who kills a Brahman, these four fall, and as a fifth he who associates with them.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 1 (1879)
