Mantra 29

यस्मिन्निदं विचिकित्सन्ति मृत्यो यत्साम्पराये महति ब्रूहि नस्तत् ।योऽयं वरो गूढमनुप्रविष्टो नान्यं तस्मान्नचिकेता वृणीते ॥ २९ ॥

In plain words

Tell us, Death, that about which there is this very doubt -- the great matter of what awaits in the world to come. This boon, which has entered deep into what is hidden, Naciketas chooses, and no other in its place.
