abstract
The Vedic legend of Naciketa is very well-known and it has a great spiritual significance and a metaphore of quest of immortality. The Rgveda, Taitriya Brāhmana and Kathaponisad constitute the genesis of the legend of Naciketas. In Mahābhārata and Varāhapurāna also we get the reflection of this legend. In our present attempt we want to make a study of R.V. (10/135) & K. Up and thereby try to discovera co-relation between two. While doing so we would take help of the general story-line of Naciketā available in Varāha-purāna
