Śvetaketu, the son of Āruṇi, went to the assembly of the Pañcālas. Pravāhaṇa, the son of Jīvala, said to him, 'Young man, has your father instructed you?' He said, 'Yes, sir.'
Chāndogya 5.3.2
वेत्थ यदितोऽधि प्रजाः प्रयन्तीति न भगव इति वेत्थ यथा पुनरावर्तन्त३ इति न भगव इति वेत्थ पथोर्देवयानस्य पितृयाणस्य च व्यावर्तना३ इति न भगव इति ॥ ५.३.२ ॥
'Do you know how creatures go forth from here?' 'No, sir.' 'Do you know how they return again?' 'No, sir.' 'Do you know the divergence of the two paths, the path of the gods and the path of the fathers?' 'No, sir.'
Chāndogya 5.3.3
वेत्थ यथासौ लोको न सम्पूर्यत३ इति न भगव इति वेत्थ यथा पञ्चम्यामाहुतावापः पुरुषवचसो भवन्तीति नैव भगव इति ॥ ५.३.३ ॥

Chāndogya 5.3.4
अथानु किमनुशिष्ठोऽवोचथा यो हीमानि न विद्यात्कथँ सोऽनुशिष्टो ब्रुवीतेति स हायस्तः पितुरर्धमेयाय तँ होवाचाननुशिष्य वाव किल मा भगवानब्रवीदनु त्वाशिषमिति ॥ ५.३.४ ॥
'Then why did you say you had been instructed? How can one who does not know these things, being instructed, speak?' Then, downcast, he went halfway to his father. He said to him, 'Sir, you said indeed without instructing me, "I will instruct you."'
Chāndogya 5.3.5
पञ्च मा राजन्यबन्धुः प्रश्नानप्राक्षीत्तेषां नैकञ्चनाशकं विवक्तुमिति स होवाच यथा मा त्वं तदैतानवदो यथाहमेषां नैकञ्चन वेद यद्यहमिमानवेदिष्यं कथं ते नावक्ष्यमिति ॥ ५.३.५ ॥
A kinsman of the warrior class asked me five questions, and I could not answer any one of them. He said: just as you could not answer them, I too know not one of them. If I had known them, how would I not have told you?
Chāndogya 5.3.6
स ह गौतमो राज्ञोऽर्धमेयाय तस्मै ह प्राप्तायार्हाञ्चकार स ह प्रातः सभाग उदेयाय तँ होवाच मानुषस्य भगवन्गौतम वित्तस्य वरं वृणीथा इति स होवाच तवैव राजन्मानुषं वित्तं यामेव कुमारस्यान्ते वाचमभाषथास्तामेव मे ब्रूहीति स ह कृच्छ्री बभूव ॥ ५.३.६ ॥
Then Gautama went halfway to the king. When he arrived, the king honored him. In the morning he went up into the assembly, and the king said to him: Revered Gautama, choose a boon from human wealth. Gautama replied: O king, let human wealth remain yours; tell me only that word which you spoke to the boy at the end. Then he became troubled.
Chāndogya 5.3.7

The king ordered him to stay a long time. Then he said to him: Gautama, just as you have told me, this knowledge has never before passed from you to the brahmins. Therefore in all the worlds the rule has belonged only to the warrior class. Then he told him this.
