ŚĀ 6,9 = KU 4,9
sa hovāca bālākiḥ - ya evaiṣo 'gnau puruṣas tam evāham upāsa iti | taṃ hovācājātaśatruḥ - mā maitasmin saṃvādayiṣṭhāḥ | viṣāsahir iti vā aham etam upāsa iti | sa yo haitam evam upāste viṣāsahir haivānyeṣu bhavati ||

ŚĀ 6.9 = KU 4.9
Bālāki said: 'The person who is here in fire—him indeed I venerate.' Ajātaśatru said to him: 'Do not challenge me on this! "The conqueror"—thus indeed do I venerate him.' Whoever venerates him thus becomes a conqueror among others.
