=== Explanation in Brahma-sutras ===
Sri Vedavyas in the sutra (Anumanika adhikarana in the Brahma sutra),<blockquote>"''trayanameva caivam upanyasa prasnasca || (1.4.6)''"</blockquote>explains that the entire Katho Upanishad is the compilation of these 3 questions and the answers to the questions.
The first question and the answer is considered as the sadhaka’s characteristics who is upetra (the beneficiary) and the others are the Upaya (the process) and Upeya (instrument to execute the process). For one is not calm, Yoga is not possible. This is elucidated in later in the Upanishad (?)<blockquote>"''||na viratho discaritat nasantho nasamahitaha''"</blockquote><blockquote>"''nasantha manasovapi prajnanena yenam apnuyath || (2.24)''"</blockquote>One who has not given up bad behavior, is not calm & has no control over his senses, however intelligent he may be will be unable to achieve Ishwara by his own efforts.

Now the second boon that Nachiketa asks is we have heard that in ultimate destination there is no fear there is no old-age, no hunger, no thirst nor lamentation, and the God of the death will not enter there. We have heard that. Oh lord of death Oh Yamaraj I have great faith and shradda to achieve this land of ultimate destination and if you know that please explain to me.
