(22) Nachiketa then said to Yama: "It is true that the
great learned also entertained doubt as to the said matter and
you also say that it is not easy to understand; but no one else
than you can be found who may properly explain it, nor is there
any other boon like this."

(23) Yama then gives allurements to Nachiketa as follows:
"Ask for sons and grandsons who may live for hundred years,
mauy cattle (cows, buffalos, bullocks etc.), horses, elephants,
gold and great kingdom of the earth, and you may also ask for
yourself as long a life as you may desire."

(24) Yama further allures Nachiketa : "0 Nachiketa! If
you consider this alternative boon as equally good as the afore-
said one, you may ask for wealth and long living and you
shall possess a great kingdom
of
this earth.
I
shall make you
enjoy all pleasures of life."
