CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 5.3.5

पञ्च मा राजन्यबन्धुः प्रश्नान् अप्राक्षीत् ।
तेषां नैकंचनाशकं विवक्तुम् इति ।
स होवाच यथा मा त्वं तदैतान् अवदो यथाहम् एषां नैकंचन वेद ।
यद्य् अहम् इमान् अवेदिष्यं कथं ते नावक्ष्यम् इति ॥

pañca mā rājanyabandhuḥ praśnān aprākṣīt ।
teṣāṃ naikaṃcanāśakaṃ vivaktum iti ।
sa hovāca yathā mā tvaṃ tadaitān avado yathāham eṣāṃ naikaṃcana veda ।
yady aham imān avediṣyaṃ kathaṃ te nāvakṣyam iti ॥

'That fellow of a Râganya, asked me five questions, and I could not answer one of them.' The father said: 'As you have told me these questions of his, I do not know any one of them. If I knew these questions, how should I not have told you?'
