CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 6.16.1

पुरुषं सोम्योत हस्तगृहीतम् आनयन्ति ।
अपहार्षीत् स्तेयम् अकार्षीत् परशुम् अस्मै तपतेति ।
स यदि तस्य कर्ता भवति तत एवानृतम् आत्मानं कुरुते ।
सो ऽनृताभिसंधो ऽनृतेनात्मानम् अन्तर्धाय परशुं तप्तं प्रतिगृह्णाति ।
स दह्यते ।
अथ हन्यते ॥

puruṣaṃ somyota hastagṛhītam ānayanti ।
apahārṣīt steyam akārṣīt paraśum asmai tapateti ।
sa yadi tasya kartā bhavati tata evānṛtam ātmānaṃ kurute ।
so ’nṛtābhisaṃdho ’nṛtenātmānam antardhāya paraśuṃ taptaṃ pratigṛhṇāti ।
sa dahyate ।
atha hanyate ॥

'My child, they bring a man hither whom they have taken by the hand, and they say: "He has taken something, he has committed a theft." (When he denies, they say), "Heat the hatchet for him." If he committed the theft, then he makes himself to be what he is not. Then the false-minded, having covered his true Self by a falsehood, grasps the heated hatchet--he is burnt, and he is killed.
