ChU 8.4.1

अथ य आत्मा स सेतुर् धृतिर् एषां लोकानाम् असंभेदाय । नैतं सेतुम् अहोरात्रे तरतो न जरा न मृत्युर् न शोको न सुकृतम् । सर्वे पाप्मानो ऽतो निवर्तन्ते । अपहतपाप्मा ह्य् एष ब्रह्मलोकः

atha ya ātmā sa setur dhṛtir eṣāṃ lokānām asaṃbhedāya | naitaṃ setum ahorātre tarato na jarā na mṛtyur na śoko na sukṛtam | sarve pāpmāno 'to nivartante | apahatapāpmā hy eṣa brahmalokaḥ

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

That Self is a bank, a boundary, so that these worlds may not be confounded. Day and night do not pass that bank, nor old age, death, and grief; neither good nor evil deeds. All evil-doers turn back from it, for the world of Brahman is free from all evil.
