Sanskrit: स त्वमग्निँ स्वर्ग्यमध्येषि मृत्योप्रब्रूहि त्वँ श्रद्दधानाय मह्यम् ।  स्वर्गलोका अमृतत्वं भजन्तएतद् द्वितीयेन वृणे वरेण  
English: 12-13  Nachiketa said: In the Heavenly World there is no fear whatsoever. You, O Death, are not there and no one is afraid of old age. Leaving behind both hunger and thirst and out of the reach of sorrow, all rejoice in Heaven. You know, O Death, the Fire-sacrifice, which leads to Heaven. Explain it to me, for I am full of faith. The inhabitants of Heaven attain immortality. This I ask as my second boon.
