कठोपनिषत्् (katha upanišad),-katha upanišad 1, (S.-4, Ch.-1, V.-24) |
एतत्तुल्यं यदि मन्यसे वरं वृणीष्व वित्तं चिरजीविकां च । महाभूमौ नचिकेतस्त्वमेधि कामानां त्वा कामभाजं करोमि ॥ २४॥ |
etattulyaṃ yadi manyase varaṃ vṛṇīṣva vittaṃ cirajīvikāṃ ca । mahābhūmau naciketastvamedhi kāmānāṃ tvā kāmabhājaṃ karomi ॥ 24॥ |
naciketas = O Naciketas; yadi = if; manyase = you think that; etat tulyam = equal to this; varaṁ vṛṇīśva = please request that boon; vittaṁ = wealth; ca = and; cira-jīvikaṁ = longevity, mahā- bhūmau = vast tracts of land; tvam = you, edhi = become (prosper); kāmānāṁ = of all desirable things; tvā kāma-bhājam karomi = I will make you the enjoyer. |
If you deem any other boon equal to that, choose it; choose wealth and a long life. Be the king, O Nachiketa, of the wide earth. I will make you the enjoyer of all desires.
