In the heavenly world is no fear whatsoever. Not there art thou. Not from old age does one fear. Over both having crossed—hunger, and thirst too— Gone beyond sorrow, one rejoices in the heaven-world. 13. Thyself, O Death, understandest the heavenly fire. Declare it to me who have faith (śraddadhāna). Heaven-world people partake of immortality. This I choose with boon the second. > — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads - [Previous: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.1.11) - [Next: 1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.1.13) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.1) ## Translations (2) - [The Thirteen Principal Upanishads](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha~en-hume.1.p22) — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, English - [The Upanishads, Part II (SBE 15)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha~en-muller.1.1.12) — Friedrich Max Müller 1884, English ## Commentaries (2) - [Kaṭhopaniṣadbhāṣya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha!sankara.29) — Śaṅkara, Sanskrit - [Kaṭhaprakāśikā (Raṅgarāmānuja)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha!rangaramanuja.1.2.12) — Raṅgarāmānuja Muni 1500, Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Śivatattvaratnakālikā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.advaita.sastra.sivatattvaratnakalika.3.92-2.p1) — Kṛṣṇānanda Sarasvatī 1585, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.1.12) · Pramāṇa
