Kathopanishad: Boons from the King of Death

The Upanishads summarise the intellectual and moral authority of the Vedas through anthologies. The inward journey to the non-temporal self is described in these stories. In the Kathopanishad, a little boy named Nachiketa approaches Yama, the King of Death, and asks for three boons, one of which was the impossible request.
