Ome, Saha'naavavu,

Saha noh unactu,

Sahhiriam Karavavah,

Tejasvinawadi, tamasthumah vidishawahay.

Oum shant, shy, shanty, shanty, shanty.

Oam, may the Lord protect us both teacher and the taught together.

May the Lord protect us by giving us the results of knowledge.

May we attain vigor together.

Let what we study be illuminating.

May we not cavil at each other.

Ome, peace, peace, peace. So, we were studying the Katow Oppenician and the story of Yama and Nachi Keta.

The little boy Natchikaeta has gone to the house of Yama.

And there he waits for three days, three nights, because the Lord of Death is not at home.

And when Yama comes back, he feels himself indebted to this little boy because he hasn't

been able to take care of his guest.

And he offers him three boons to make up for making him wait for three days and nights, although inadvertently.

Now the three boons, this is a famous story. So the three boons, Natchiketa asks for us.

Very interesting to see what he asks for.

I think I'm at no risk of spoiling the story because it's so old.

I think everybody knows it.

that I will go back to the world of the living when permitted by you.
