Sanskrit: तँ ह कुमारँ सन्तं दक्षिणासुनीयमानासु श्रद्धाविवेश सोऽमन्यत  
English: 2-3  When the gifts were being distributed, faith entered into the heart of Nachiketa, who was still a boy. He said to himself: Joyless, surely, are the worlds to which he goes who gives away cows no longer able to drink, to eat, to give milk, or to calve.
