| Yamaraj tells Nachiketa that he will reveal the eternal secret of the Vedas to him. Even though living entity having eternal association of Paramatma, then how is that Jiva falls into so many species of life? Yamaraja answers this question: some people may assume this is the act of destiny. Or some may blame the paramatma for pushing jiva into different forms of life. Therefore Yamaraja discusses the role of Paramatma for jiva as an indwelling supersoul, and its impact on jiva’s rise and fall. Yamaraja answers all these questions in next few mantras.
