8.8.5

tasmād apyaddyehādadānam aśraddadhānam ayajamānam āhur āsuro bateti \
asurāṇāṃ hy eṣopaniṣat \
pretasya śarīraṃ bhikṣayā vasanenālaṃkāreṇeti saṃskurvanti \
etena hyammuṃ lokaṃ jeṣyanto manyante \\808.5\

5. Therefore even now here on earth they say of one who is not a giver, who is not a believer (a-śraddadhāna), who is not a sacrificer, ‘Oh! devilish (asura)!’ for such is the doctrine (upaniṣad) of the devils. They adorn the body (śarīra) of one deceased with what they have begged, with dress, with ornament, as they call it, for they think that thereby they will win yonder world.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
