CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 7.15.3

अथ यद्य् अप्य् एनान् उत्क्रान्तप्राणाञ् छूलेन समासं व्यतिषंदहेत् ।
नैवैनं ब्रूयुः पितृहासीति न मातृहासीति न भ्रातृहासीति न स्वसृहासीति नाचार्यहासीति न ब्राह्मणहासीति ॥

atha yady apy enān utkrāntaprāṇāñ chūlena samāsaṃ vyatiṣaṃdahet ।
naivainaṃ brūyuḥ pitṛhāsīti na mātṛhāsīti na bhrātṛhāsīti na svasṛhāsīti nācāryahāsīti na brāhmaṇahāsīti ॥

'But, if after the spirit has departed from them, one shoves them together with a poker, and burns them to pieces, no one would say, Thou offendest thy father, mother, brother, sister, tutor or a Brâhmana.

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