न वित्तेन तर्पणीयोमनुष्यो
लप्स्यामहेवित्तमद्राक्ष्म चेत्त्वा ।
जीविष्यामोयावदीशिष्यसि त्वं
वरस्तुमेवरणीयः स एव ॥ २७
NA VITTEN TARPANIYA MANUSHYO
LAPASYAMAHE HE VITTAM ADRAKSHAM CHA TWA
JIVISHYAM YAWAT ISHISHYASI TWAM
VARSTU VARANIAYH SA EVA ||27
MAN IS NOT SATISFIED BY WEALTH (ALONE), IF WE ANT WEALTH WE WILL GET IT,
IF ONLY WE SEE YOU
WE LIVE AS LONG YOU RULE .SO THE BOON ALONE IS CRAVED FOR ME||27
Nachiketa is telling the Lord of Death that money is ot everything and when one wants it and he has seen The Lord of Death, he will get it . But that does not guarantee happiness . The happiness is in MIND and not in OUTSIDE source . We have seen this in our life . The beef is great for meat eater and ot for someone who is vegetarian. The first slice of pizza gives you more pleasure than 10th slice - if one is forced to consume that much So Happiness is state of mind . And getting money alone is not enough if ALL THIS IS GOING TO END . So young man or woman may enjoy certain things that older person may not or may not BE ABLE TO enjoy..
In addition to getting old,there is Death . So the death of physical body ENDS ALL THE BODILY PLEASURE and the Lord of Death is in charge of that . So the wealth can be enjoyed as long as we have physical body and it is in great shape to enjoy it . This is under control of Lord of Death So Nachiketa is telling the Yama that wealth is great but better than that is THE BOON THAT I ASKED FOR.
With this discussion and the conversation that is written in these Shlokas , the scripture is telling us the futility of money , and physical bodily enjoyments as they all end with death of the physical body . If we want PERMANENT Happiness , we need to go beyond the happiness of physical body which is SHORT LASTING and not same in our life time.
