      Katha Upanishad - Munindra Misra

      Source: No Consensus

      Vary from Yajur, Sama, Atharva to Rig-Veda.

      In English rhyme

      The Katha Upanishad a dialogue does be,

      Amid a wishful disciple, Nachiketas truly,

      And Ruler of Death – Lord Yama really,

      Regarding the great Hereafter in actuality

      Invocation

      Om!

      May He protect us both together wholly,

      By illumining nature of knowledge truly;

      May He sustain the both of us completely,

      By ensuring the fruits of knowledge fully;

      May we attain the vigor comprehensively,

      Of the knowledge together but unfailingly;

      Let what we learn enlighten us clearly,

      Let us not hate others, have no enmity.

      Om! Peace! Peace! Peace!

      PART 1:

      Chapter I

      Vajashravasa, desiring rewards clearly,

      Performed Vishvajit sacrifice earnestly,

      And giving away his material property,

      Was blessed with son Nachiketa finally.

      1-2

      When the gifts were distributed in actually,

      The Faith entered Nachiketa’s heart clearly,

      He thought: worlds where he goes joyless be,

      Who gifts cows not drink, eat, without calve be.

      3

      Asked: Father! To whom will I gifted be?

      Asked a second, third time adamantly,

      Then his father replied sober, sincerely,

      Unto the Death, I will gift you eventually.

      4

      Among many I the first; middlemost be,

      But I am never the very last certainly,

      What use to King of Death my father be,

      By thus giving me away to him in reality?

      5

      Nachiketa said:

      How it was with who came before us see,

      How it is with who are with us currently,

      A mortal but ripens like corn eventually,

      And like corn he springs up again surely.

      6

      Yama’s ministers said to him:

      As fire, brahmin guest enters house verily;

      And the householder pacifies him softly,

      By offering him a seat very respectfully,

      And bring him water, King of Death truly!

      Brahmin who is in house but fasting be,
