Nachiketa's Dual
Sorrowing for his father
Nachiketa fasted for three nights
and his dual spoke:
There is a path
narrow as a razor's edge
that leads to a landscape
where the sun does not shine
nor the moon and the stars
nor these lightnings
and much less this fire.
Here is an upside-down tree
with the leaves resting on the ground
climb it to the roots
till you find the seed.
Take a chariot for your journey
the driver will know the answer.
