==== Chandogya Upanishad ====
==== Chandogya Upanishad ====
Chandogya Upanishad 8.4.5 explains about Svarga as the paramapada or the final/great place of destination described as Brahmaloka
apahata papma esa brahma lokaha
In Mundaka Upanishad 1.2.6 The final destination of arichiradi path is called as the place where people travel is called archiradi.<blockquote>"''Esha vaha punyah sukrito brahma lokah.''"</blockquote>It is amruthamaya or nectarean place in that place parama purusha resides. This is explained in 1.2.11 and therefore all this can give us the clear understanding that this is the same parama pada.<blockquote>"''Yasyarvagnya sarva vitha yasmaisa mahima buhi''"</blockquote>divye brahma pure haiva yo mnyatma pratishitaha (2.2.7) One who is all knowing bhagvantha(Bhagavan) is residing in brahmapura. Same paramdhama is It is explained in 3.2.11. as Para brahma dhama bandhu in 3.2.4; braham dhama in 3.2.6--it is described as brahama loka.
This planet is the third from the earthly planet. In that land there are forests knows as Ara, and nyas, lakes known as asairam-madi, ashwatha tree called as Somasavan. This place is said to be eternal called the city of Aparajitha where there is hiranya –golden hued pandal. Only those who practice brahmacarya, achieve this planet. This clearly indicates that this is not the land of caturmukha, Sruti does not explain any other higher planet than this Brahmaloka.
in the Prashnopanishat,(1.15) it is called as Brahmaloka, in (5.5) it is described, that the planet which is higher than all other lokas, the lord of the Brahmaloka is resting in Yoga nidra, as Purishaya,(Just like Sri Ranganath deity). In this way the highest platform is called as swarga and Brahamaloka.
==== Kaushitaki Upanishad ====
Kaushitaki Upanishad also describes a similar place called Brahmaloka (1.21.67) as given in Chandogya Upanishad. According to this Upanishad the ultimate destination of those souls on the path of Devayana (path of devatas) is brahmaloka. A similar description of lakes, forest and beautiful pandal is also mentioned here. Here also Brahmapura is described as Aparajitha meaning undefeatable.
==== Mundakopanishad ====
In Mundaka Upanishad 1.2.6 the final destination of those on the arichiradi path is called as Brahmaloka.<blockquote>"''Esha vaha punyah sukrito brahma lokah.''"</blockquote>It is amruthamaya and the abode of parama purusha. This is explained in 1.2.11 and therefore all this can give us the clear understanding that this is the same parama pada.<blockquote>"''Yasyarvagnya sarva vitha yasmaisa mahima buhi''"</blockquote>divye brahma pure haiva yo mnyatma pratishitaha (2.2.7) One who is all knowing bhagvantha(Bhagavan) is residing in brahmapura. Same paramdhama is It is explained in 3.2.11. as Para brahma dhama bandhu in 3.2.4; braham dhama in 3.2.6--it is described as brahama loka.
==== Prashnopanishad ====
Prashnopanishat (1.15) also describes the highest place as Brahmaloka. In here (5.5) it is described as that planet which is higher than all other lokas, where the Paramapurusha of the Brahmaloka is resting in Yoga nidra.
In this way different the highest platform is called as Svarga and Brahamaloka.
== The Third Boon ==
== The Third Boon ==
The heart of the Upanishad and the essence of the Vedas is discussed in the response to the third query. Yamaraja requests Nachiketa to ask for a third boon and Nachiketa uses the boon to clarify a doubt:<blockquote>"''I am confused as to when a human being dies, some argue that he continues to live and some say he has died. Please clear my confusion.''"</blockquote>
