Chāndogya 8.11.1
तद्यत्रैतत्सुप्तः समस्तः संप्रसन्नः स्वप्नं न विजानात्येष आत्मेति होवाचैतदमृतमभयमेतद्ब्रह्मेति स ह शान्तहृदयः प्रवव्राज स हाप्राप्यैव देवानेतद्भयं ददर्श नाह खल्वयमेवꣳ संप्रत्यात्मानं जानात्ययमहमस्मीति नो एवेमानि भूतानि विनाशमेवापीतो भवति नाहमत्र भोग्यं पश्यामीति ॥ ८.११.१ ॥
When one who is asleep, completely at rest and serene, knows no dream, that is the self, he said; this is the immortal, this is the fearless, this is brahman. He went forth with a calm heart, but without having attained the gods he saw this fear: 'Truly, I do not know my self thus now, that I am this'; nor do these beings perish from this.

He said: O revered one, I do not now know the ātman thus, that 'I am this.' These beings indeed pass into destruction; I see nothing here to enjoy.
Chāndogya 8.11.3
एवमेवैष मघवन्निति होवाचैतं त्वेव ते भूयोऽनुव्याख्यास्यामि नो एवान्यत्रैतस्माद्वसापराणि पञ्च वर्षाणीति स हापराणि पञ्च वर्षाण्युवास तान्येकशतꣳ संपेदुरेतत्तद्यदाहुरेकशतꣳ ह वै वर्षाणि मघवान्प्रजापतौ ब्रह्मचर्यमुवास तस्मै होवाच ॥ ८.११.३ ॥
O Maghavan, thus he spoke: 'I will explain this to you again in detail, but not apart from this: remain five more years.' He remained five more years. Those became one hundred; this is what they mean when they say 'one hundred years.' Maghavan dwelt in brahmacarya with Prajāpati for one hundred years. To him he said.
