ChU 5.1.7
ते ह प्राणाः प्रजापतिं पितरम् एत्योचुः भगवन् को नः श्रेष्ठ इति । तान् होवाच । यस्मिन् व उत्क्रान्ते शरीरं पापिष्ठतरम् इव दृश्येत स वः श्रेष्ठ इति
te ha prāṇāḥ prajāpatiṃ pitaram etyocuḥ bhagavan ko naḥ śreṣṭha iti | tān hovāca | yasmin va utkrānte śarīraṃ pāpiṣṭhataram iva dṛśyeta sa vaḥ śreṣṭha iti
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
They went to their father Pragâpati and said: 'Sir, who is the best of us?' He replied: 'He by whose departure the body seems worse than worst, he is the best of you.'
