Nachiket

नचिकेत

One who has no desire or is filled with curiosity.

Nachiket is derived from the Sanskrit roots 'na' (not) and 'chiketa' (known/desire). It is famously associated with the Kathopanishad, where the young boy Nachiketa engages in a profound philosophical dialogue with Yama, the God of Death, regarding the nature of the soul and immortality.
