Subala • Chapter 16 • Shloka 1
सौबालबीजब्रह्मोपनिषन्नाप्रशान्ताय दातव्या नापुत्राय नाशिष्याय नासंवत्सररात्रोषिताय नापरिज्ञातकुलशीलाय दातव्या नैव च प्रवक्तव्या। यस्य देवे परा भक्तिर्यथा देवे तथा गुरौ। तस्यैते कथिता ह्यर्थाः प्रकाशन्ते महात्मन इत्येतन्निर्वाणानुशासनमिति वेदानुशासनमिति वेदानुशासनम् ॥
This Subāla-Bīja-Brahma-Upaniṣad should neither be given out nor taught to one who has not controlled his passions, who has no sons, who has not gone to a Guru, and having become his disciple has not resided with him for a year, and whose family and conduct are not known. These doctrines should be taught to him who has supreme devotion to the Lord and as much to his Guru. Then these truths shine in his great soul. Thus is the exposition of Nirvāṇa; thus is the exposition of the Vedas; yea, thus is the exposition of the Vedas.
