Chāndogyopaniṣadbhāṣyam

Verse 257

अथ ह य एतानेवं पञ्चाग्नीन्वेद नसह तैरप्याचरन्पाप्मना लिप्यते शुद्धःपूतः पुण्यलोको भवति य एवं वेद यएवं वेद ॥ १० ॥

In plain words

Now indeed, whoever knows these five fires in this very way is never touched by sin, even while living alongside those who commit it. Pure and cleansed, he attains the world of merit—he who knows this, yes, he who truly knows this.

Close to the Sanskrit

Now indeed, whoever knows these five fires thus, not even associating with them, is he stained by sin; pure, cleansed, he becomes possessing of the meritorious world—he who thus knows, he who thus knows.
