Chāndogya Upaniṣad 1.2.3

ChU 1.2.3

अथ ह वाचम् उद्गीथम् उपासां चक्रिरे । तां हासुराः पाप्मना विविधुः । तस्मात् तयोभयं वदति सत्यं चानृतं च । पाप्मना ह्य् एषा विद्धा

atha ha vācam udgītham upāsāṃ cakrire | tāṃ hāsurāḥ pāpmanā vividhuḥ | tasmāt tayobhayaṃ vadati satyaṃ cānṛtaṃ ca | pāpmanā hy eṣā viddhā

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Then they meditated on the udgîtha (Om) as speech, but the Asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore we speak both truth and falsehood. For speech is pierced by evil.

Translated by F. Max Müller
