ये ये कामा दुर्लभा मर्त्यलोके
सर्वान् कामाँश्छन्दतः प्रार्थयस्व ।
इमा रामाः सरथाः सतूर्या
न हीदृशा लम्भनीया मनुष्यैः ।|
आभिर्मत्प्रत्ताभिः परिचारयस्व
नचिकेतोमरणं माऽनुप्राक्षीः ॥ २५
YE YE KAMA DURLABHA MARTYALOKE
SARVAN KAMAN CHHANDATAH PRARTHYASWA
IMA RAMAH SARATHAH SATURYA
NA HIDRASHA LAMBHANIYA MANUSHYEH
ABHIR MAT PRATTABHIH PARICHARAYASWA
NICHIKETOMARANAM MANUPRAKSHIH ||25
WHATEVER DESIRES ARE DIFFICULT TO ATTAIN BY MORTALS IN MORTAL LIFE LIKE CHARIOTS , MUSIC, THAT CAN NOT BE ENJOYED BY MORTALS, ASK FOR THEM,I WILL GIVE THEN TO YOU,O NACHIKETA DO NOT ASK FOR STATE OF SOUL AFTER DEATH || 25
This is again continuation of the theme that has been seen in last few Shloka. The Yama is offering different things to Nachiketa and asking him to ask for something else , rather than insisting on KNOWING the state of soul after Death. This time he is offering things that Mortals can not get or get it easily on Earthly Life . The Earth is called MRYTYULOK. MRUTYU means death .LOKA means PLACE. In Vedic religion there are 7 LOKAS and Earth is one of them .BHU, BHYVAH, SWAHA ,MAHA ,JANAH,TAPAH, SATYA - are the 7 places or LOKA. So each place has some 'limits' as to what can be enjoyed . So Yama is offering him some of the rare things seen in present life . Chariots and musical instrument may sound not great for some one now . But it is like offering Ferrari or Lamborghini automobiles in today's society.
