ŚVETĀŚVATARA UPANISHAD · 4.3

त्वं स्त्री त्वं पुमान् असि त्वं कुमार उत वा कुमारी ।
त्वं जीर्णो दण्डेन वञ्चसि त्वं जातो भवसि विश्वतोमुखः ॥

tvaṃ strī tvaṃ pumān asi tvaṃ kumāra uta vā kumārī ।
tvaṃ jīrṇo daṇḍena vañcasi tvaṃ jāto bhavasi viśvatomukhaḥ ॥

Thou art woman, thou art man; thou art youth, thou art maiden; thou, as an old man, totterest along on thy staff; thou art born with thy face turned everywhere.

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