Man is not to be satisfied with wealth. We shall have wealth if we saw 'Thee. We shall live so long as Tho art lord. But the boon to be chosen by e is that alone
COMMENTARY :
a witted: Truly no satisfaction is seen in any ou account of wealth annassed since there is the axion Never has desire been q€nched through enjoying the desired objects". This is meant. Besides,
labeyantahe sitta ; If we have seen you we shall get wealth. What is meant is if there is seeing of you what dificulty is there in getting wealth ? Tibet, if it be said that long life unay be sought, he (Naciketas) replies,
jivisyano...Doring which time you sit (preside) as the Lord on the seat of ama. (The Parasnipatli) &isyaxi is according to Vedic exception sycycya). All that period our ife will last. Verily there is nobody who transgressing your coumand will bring about termination of our life. What is meant is that life will be the same whether a boon is got or not {to this effect). I'herefore the boon mentioned already in the mantra yey¢ preta.w' is the only one to be sought.
