ŚVETĀŚVATARA UPANISHAD · 3.8

वेदाहम् एतं पुरुषं महान्तम् आदित्यवर्णं तमसः परस्तात् ।
तम् एव विदित्वाति मृत्युम् एति नान्यः पन्था विद्यते ऽयनाय ॥

vedāham etaṃ puruṣaṃ mahāntam ādityavarṇaṃ tamasaḥ parastāt ।
tam eva viditvāti mṛtyum eti nānyaḥ panthā vidyate ’yanāya ॥

I know that great person (purusha) of sunlike lustre beyond the darkness. A man who knows him truly, passes over death; there is no other path to go.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 15 (1884)
