KaU 1.1.29 — Kaṭha Upaniṣad

KaU 1.1.29

यस्मिन्न् इदं विचिकित्सन्ति मृत्यो यत् साम्पराये महति ब्रूहि नस् तत् । यो ऽयं वरो गूढम् अनुप्रविष्टो नान्यं तस्मान् नचिकेता वृणीते

yasminn idaṃ vicikitsanti mṛtyo yat sāmparāye mahati brūhi nas tat / yo 'yaṃ varo gūḍham anupraviṣṭo nānyaṃ tasmān naciketā vṛṇīte

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

O Death, that regarding which there is doubt, of the great Hereafter, tell us. Nachiketas asks for no other boon than that which penetrates this hidden secret.

Translated by Swami Paramananda

No, that on which there is this doubt, O Death, tell us what there is in that great Hereafter. Nakiketas does not choose another boon but that which enters into the hidden world."

Translated by F. Max Müller
