लोकादिमग्निं तमुवाच तस्मै
या इष्टका यावतीर्वा यथा वा ।
स चापि तत्प्रत्यवदद्यथोक्तं
अथास्य मृत्युः पुनरेवाह तुष्टः ॥ १५
LOKADIM AGNI TAM UVACH TASMAI
YA ISHTAKA YAVATIR VA YATHA VA
SA CHA API TAT PRATYAVADAT YATHOKTAM

THE GOD OF DEATH,YAMA, EXPLAINED HIM THE FIRE -THE SOURCE OF THE WORLD,,
WHAT BRICKS AND HOW MANY ARE REQUIRED AND HOW TO PLACE THEM AND HE
(NACHIKET) REPEATED IT AND THEN HE (YAMA) WAS PLEASED AND SAID AGAIN ||15
In this a Shloka , there is continuation of the theme and the things that were stated in last one. The God of death is highly educated and in may thinking it a position that is like in any government,we have secretary of education or finance etc So when someone is 'evolved , he can become one of these Gods, So the Yama is highly evolved and so he can teach Nachiket on the fire ceremony and how the Fire is the source of the Universe and then how to do the Fire ceremony . I am not sure if he is talking the ritual of fire sacrifice.So the Yama gives him the discourse on the fire ceremony.. In the ritual part of the Fire ceremony, one has to build the KUNDA where the fire is lighter and how it is done or how to set the bricks etc and then made sure that Nachiket understood it and remembers it by asking him to repeat it and when he did it , he was happy.
I am not sure if it is the Fire ceremony and the ritual that we do without understanding any meaning of the Mantas or he talked about the TRUE sacrifice to uplift oneself. The Fire represent the Energy and that is considered to be the origin of the universe or it is needed for anything to happen in this world . In the Origin of universe , the AKASH or Ether was or space was created , Even in the Big Bang theory, the Bang has to to happen somewhere and in in 1to the power -32 second or so the universe expanded tremendously. Then then was AIR formed . This is the gases that came in existence. Then there was FIRE or energy - helium -hydrogen - furnace . So when we look at this the space can not be seen or tasted or touched So our sense organs - the five , the Fire is the first that we can see and it is also considered as energy and the energy is needed for anything and everything to happen and so the FIRE has special place in Hindu or Vedic religion. (When spitit and Matter come together the universe comes in existence , The Spirit can be considered as Energy).
Those of us who believe in Singularity or ADWATYA , feel every thing is BRAHMA .
