1.18

sa hi suvargacchati
taṃ hāha yastvamasi so'hamasmi
yo'hamasmi sa tvamasyehi iti
sa etameva sukṛtarasamapyeti
tasya putrā dāyamupayanti pitarassādhukṛtyām
sa haivaṃ vidvāndvyātmā dvidāyaḥ
ekātmā haivaikadāya etadavidvānagnihotraṃ juhoti

For he goes to heaven. He says to him: 'Who you are, that am I; who I am, that are you. Come!' He enters into this very essence of good deeds. His sons enter upon his inheritance, the ancestors upon his good deeds. He who knows thus has two selves and two inheritances. He who offers the fire-offering without knowing this has only one self and one inheritance.
