6. 0 Gautama (Nachiketa, the son of Gotam) ! Now I

(God), and likewise I shall also explain to you the fate of the
soul after death,
i.e.,
after leaving the physical body.

8. That Alpervading
God, creating the whole universe in
fulfilment
of his
desires, remains q uite awake among the sleep-
ing ignorant
souls.
He alone is said to be everpure, the grea-
test and immortal (ever free from bonda ge of births and
deaths). In Him alone all the planets (worlds) exist and no
one
can transcend
Him. It is that for whom you asked.

9. Just as one fire (heat) hidden in
all
the particles of this
universe appears in different forms in
different
accor-
dingly, so the one Supreme Soul, existing inside all creaters (and
things) appears in different shapes accordingly; He exists out-
side them as well, for He is omnipresent.
