Chandogya Upanishad
jānaśrutir ha pautrāyaṇaḥ śraddhādeyo bahudāyī bahupākya āsa sa ha sarvata āvasathān māpayāṃcakre sarvata eva me 'nnam atsyantīti
There lived once upon a time Gânasruti Pautrâyana (the great-grandson of Ganasruta), who was a pious giver, bestowing much wealth upon the people, and always keeping open house. He built places of refuge everywhere, wishing that people should everywhere eat of his food.
atha ha haṃsā niśāyām atipetuḥ taddhaivaṃ haṃso haṃsam abhyuvāda ho ho 'yi bhallākṣa bhallākṣa jānaśruteḥ pautrāyaṇasya samaṃ divā jyotir ātataṃ tan mā prasāṅkṣīs tat tvāṃ mā pradhākṣīr iti
Once in the night some Hamsas (flamingoes) flew over his house, and one flamingo said to another: 'Hey, Bhallâksha, Bhallâksha (short-sighted friend). The light (glory) of Gânasruti Pautrâyana has spread like the sky. Do not go near, that it may not burn thee.'
tam u ha paraḥ pratyuvāca kam v ara enam etat santaṃ sayugvānam iva raikvam āttha iti yo nu kathaṃ sayugvā raikva iti
The other answered him: 'How can you speak of him, being what he is (a râganya, noble), as if he were like Raikva with the car?'
yathā kṛtāya vijitāyādhareyāḥ saṃyanty evam enaṃ sarvaṃ tad abhisameti yat kiṃca prajāḥ sādhu kurvanti
The first replied: 'How is it with this Raikva with the car of whom thou speakest?' The other answered: 'As (in a game of dice) all the lower casts belong to him who has conquered with the Krita cast, so whatever good deeds other people perform, belong to that Raikva. He who knows what he knows, he is thus spoken of by me.
tad u ha jānaśrutiḥ pautrāyaṇa upaśuśrāva sa ha saṃjihāna eva kṣattāram uvācāṅgāre ha sayugvānam iva raikvam āttheti yo nu kathaṃ sayugvā raikva iti
Gânasruti Pautrâyana overheard this conversation, and as soon as he had risen in the morning, he said to his door keeper (kshattri): 'Friend, dost thou speak of (me, as if I were) Raikva with the car?' He replied: 'How is it with this Raikva with the car?'
yathā kṛtāya vijitāyādhareyāḥ saṃyanty evam enaṃ sarvaṃ tad abhisameti yat kiṃca prajāḥ sādhu kurvanti yas tad veda yat sa veda sa mayaitad ukta iti
The king said: 'As (in a game of dice), all the lower casts belong to him who has conquered with the Krita cast, so whatever good deeds other people perform, belong to that Raikva. He who knows what he knows, he is thus spoken of by me.'
sa ha kṣattānviṣya nāvidam iti pratyeyāya taṃ hovāca yatrāre brāhmaṇasyānveṣaṇā tad enam arccheti
The door-keeper went to look for Raikva, but returned saying, 'I found him not.' Then the king said: 'Alas! where a Brâhmana should be searched for (in the solitude of the forest), there go for him.'
so 'dhastāc chakaṭasya pāmānaṃ kaṣamāṇam upopaviveśa taṃ hābhyuvāda tvaṃ nu bhagavaḥ sayugvā raikva iti ahaṃ hy arā 3 iti ha pratijajñe sa ha kṣattāvidam iti pratyeyāya
The door-keeper came to a man who was lying beneath a car and scratching his sores. He addressed him, and said: 'Sir, are you Raikva with the car?' He answered: 'Here I am.' Then the door-keeper returned, and said: I have found him.'
