 Nachiketa asked Yama for 3 gifts or as the story states boons. His first gift that he wants is to grant his father's anger to be appeased so when he returns back home his father recognizes his and receives him with love. His second gift form Yama was instructions to the fire sacrifice that lead to heaven and sustains the world. the third gift that he wanted was for Yama to teach him the truth of what happens when people die. like when people die do they still exist or do they just disappear?  Yama knew that the doubt haunted even the gods of old and for the secret of death was hard to explain and asked Nachiketa to ask for anything else but Naciketa told Yama that no boon equal to the answer of what happens after death in his opinion.
