ChU 5.3.5

पञ्च मा राजन्यबन्धुः प्रश्नान् अप्राक्षीत् । तेषां नैकंचनाशकं विवक्तुम् इति । स होवाच यथा मा त्वं तदैतान् अवदो यथाहम् एषां नैकंचन वेद । यद्य् अहम् इमान् अवेदिष्यं कथं ते नावक्ष्यम् इति

pañca mā rājanyabandhuḥ praśnān aprākṣīt | teṣāṃ naikaṃcanāśakaṃ vivaktum iti | sa hovāca yathā mā tvaṃ tadaitān avado yathāham eṣāṃ naikaṃcana veda | yady aham imān avediṣyaṃ kathaṃ te nāvakṣyam iti

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

'That fellow of a Râganya asked me five questions, and I could not answer one of them.' The father said: 'As you have told me these questions of his, I do not know any one of them. If I knew these questions, how should I not have told you?
