Kathopanishad – Verse 13 – kathopanishad-1-1-13-sa tvamagnim̐ – In Sanskrit with English Transliteration, Meaning and Commentary by Adi Shankaracharya (Sankara Bhashya) – Katha-1-1-13
Sri Shankara’s Commentary (Bhashya) translated by S. Sitarama Sastri
The fire, which helps one to attain the heaven possessed of such attributes, thou, Oh Death! knowest; and as thou knowest, teach me who am zealous by which fire sacrificing, men attain heaven and immortality or become Devas. This knowledge of the fire, I crave by my second boon.
