Svetaketu went to the court of Pravahana, who asked him if he had finished studying under his father. Pravahana then asked him some questions to test his knowledge, said M.K. Svetaketu did not know the answers to Pravahana’s questions. Pravahana said that Panchagni Vidya, would answer all the questions that he (Pravahana) had put to Svetaketu. Pravahana then taught Gautama Panchagni Vidya — that is knowledge of the five fires, which would answer all the questions he (Pravahana) had put to Svetaketu.
