बहूनामेमि प्रथमो बहूनामेमि मध्यमः
किं स्विद्यमस्य कर्तव्यं यन्मयाSद्य करिष्यति -5
(NACHIKET THOUGHT) OF MANY I AM THE FIRST (OR) THE MIDDLE (BUT CERTAINLY
NOT THE LAST)BUT WHAT IS PURPOSE OF MY FATHER TO GIVE ME TO THE YAMA-5
So this shloka tells us what Nachiket must have thought of what his father said. Many a times elders make a statements in state of rage, and we do not expect it to be followed by the kids . But here the CHILD is not ordinary child . He is mature , learned and devoted . He is also capable. So he is thinking to himself that there must be some purpose for my father giving me to the God of Death - YAMA. He is learned and he is my Guru and his words can not be spoken in vain.The shloka starts with Nachiket thinking that I must be first of the people who was offered to God of death or may be there were some before me , but certainly I can not be the last, so true. He wants to fulfill the words or the command of his Father and also Guru . But he does not understand as to what must be the reason and what is it that my father wants me to get it done by Yama
This is very interesting shloka to me. There are couple of things out of ordinary understanding of average people.The common part is all adults when they are mad will say things that they don't mean . The uncommon thing is that the Son - CHILD takes his father's word very seriously . He wants to obey the father's wish-command . Not only he feels that way but he also has ability to go to YAMA.
He is serious about and he does it .
