Chāndogya 8.10.1
य एष स्वप्ने महीयमानश्चरत्येष आत्मेति होवाचैतदमृतमभयमेतद्ब्रह्मेति स ह शान्तहृदयः प्रवव्राज स हाप्राप्यैव देवानेतद्भयं ददर्श तद्यद्यपीदꣳ शरीरमन्धं भवत्यनन्धः स भवति यदि स्राममस्रामो नैवैषोऽस्य दोषेण दुष्यति ॥ ८.१०.१ ॥
'He who moves about in dream, glorified, that is the self,' he said. 'This is the immortal, this is the fearless, this is brahman.' He went off with a calm heart. But without reaching the gods, he saw this danger: even if this body becomes blind, he does not become blind; if it becomes lame, he does not become lame. He is not defiled by its fault.
Chāndogya 8.10.2
न वधेनास्य हन्यते नास्य स्राम्येण स्रामो घ्नन्ति त्वेवैनं विच्छादयन्तीवाप्रियवेत्तेव भवत्यपि रोदितीव नाहमत्र भोग्यं पश्यामीति ॥ ८.१०.२ ॥
By striking him, he is not slain; by striking his body, his body is not slain. People cover him over, and he becomes as one who knows the unpleasant, and he even seems to weep, saying: 'Here I see nothing to enjoy.'
Chāndogya 8.10.3
स समित्पाणिः पुनरेयाय तꣳ ह प्रजापतिरुवाच मघवन्यच्छान्तहृदयः प्राव्राजीः किमिच्छन्पुनरागम इति स होवाच तद्यद्यपीदं भगवः शरीरमन्धं भवत्यनन्धः स भवति यदि स्राममस्रामो नैवैषोऽस्य दोषेण दुष्यति ॥ ८.१०.३ ॥
He came back again with firewood in hand. Prajāpati said to him: 'O Maghavan, you went forth with a calm heart; what do you desire that you have come back?' He said: 'Revered one, even if this body becomes blind, he does not become blind; if the body becomes bodiless, he is not defiled by its fault.'
Chāndogya 8.10.4
न वधेनास्य हन्यते नास्य स्राम्येण स्रामो घ्नन्ति त्वेवैनं विच्छादयन्तीवाप्रियवेत्तेव भवत्यपि रोदितीव नाहमत्र भोग्यं पश्यामीत्येवमेवैष मघवन्निति होवाचैतं त्वेव ते भूयोऽनुव्याख्यास्यामि वसापराणि द्वात्रिꣳशतं वर्षाणीति स हापराणि द्वात्रिꣳशतं वर्षाण्युवास तस्मै होवाच ॥ ८.१०.४ ॥
By striking him, he is not slain; by striking his body, his body is not slain. People cover him over, and he becomes as one who knows the unpleasant, and he even seems to weep, saying: 'Here I see nothing to enjoy.' 'Thus it is indeed, O Maghavan,' he said. 'But I will explain this to you again in detail; stay thirty-two more years.' He stayed thirty-two more years, and then he spoke to him.
