तमब्रवीत् प्रीयमाणो महात्मा वरं तवेहाद्य ददामि भूयः । तवैव नाम्ना भविताऽयमग्निः सृङ्कां चेमामनेकरूपां गृहाण ॥ १६॥ |
tamabravīt prīyamāṇo mahātmā varaṃ tavehādya dadāmi bhūyaḥ । tavaiva nāmnā bhavitā'yamagniḥ sṛṅkāṃ cemāmanekarūpāṃ gṛhāṇa ॥ 16॥ |
prīyamānaḥ = being delighted; mahātmā = the magnanimous One, [one who is not narrow- minded]; tam = to him; abravīt = said ; iha = here, [out of delight]; tava = for you; [a fourth boon]: adya = now; dadāmi = I offer; bhūyaḥ = again; ayam agniḥ = this fire ; bhavitā = will become [famous]; tava eva nāmnāḥ = by your name indeed; ca = moreover; gṛhāṇa = accept; imām = this; srṅkāṁ = necklace; aneka-rūpāṁ = multiformed and variegated. |
High−souled Death, being well pleased, said to Nachiketa: I will now give you another boon: this fire shall be named after you. Take also from me this many−coloured chain.
