CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 5.3.6

स ह गौतमो राज्ञो ऽर्धम् एयाय ।
तस्मै ह प्राप्तायार्हां चकार ।
स ह प्रातः सभाग उदेयाय ।
तं होवाच ।
मानुषस्य भगवन् गौतम वित्तस्य वरं वृणीथा इति ।
स होवाच ।
तवैव राजन् मानुषं वित्तम् ।
याम् एव कुमारस्यान्ते वाचम् अभाषथास् ताम् एव मे ब्रूहीति ।
स ह कृच्छ्री बभूव ॥

sa ha gautamo rājño ’rdham eyāya ।
tasmai ha prāptāyārhāṃ cakāra ।
sa ha prātaḥ sabhāga udeyāya ।
taṃ hovāca ।
mānuṣasya bhagavan gautama vittasya varaṃ vṛṇīthā iti ।
sa hovāca ।
tavaiva rājan mānuṣaṃ vittam ।
yām eva kumārasyānte vācam abhāṣathās tām eva me brūhīti ।
sa ha kṛcchrī babhūva ॥

Then Gautama went to the king's place, and when he had come to him, the king offered him proper respect. In the morning the king went out on his way to the assembly. The king said to him: 'Sir, Gautama, ask a boon of such things as men possess.' He replied: 'Such things as men possess may remain with you. Tell me the speech which you addressed to the boy.'
