Excerpt from The Upanishads, Vol. 2 This second volume completes the translation of the principal Upanishads to which Sahkara appeals in his great commentary on the Vedanta-Sutras, viz,: 1. Khândogya-upanishad, 2. Talavakâra or Kena-upanishad, 3. Aitareya-upanishad, 4. Kaushitaki-upanishad, 5. Vagasaneyi or Isa-upanishad, 6. Katha-upanishad, 7. Mundaka-upanishad, 8. Taittiriyaka-upanishad, 9. Brihadaranyaka-upanishad, 10. Svetasvatara-upanishad, 11. Praña-upanishad. These eleven have sometimes been called the old and genuine Upanishads, though I should be satisfied to call them the eleven classical Upanishads, or the fundamental Upanishads of the Vedanta philosophy. Vidyarañya, in his 'Elucidation of the meaning of all the Upanishads,' Sarvopanishadarthanubhuti-prakaisa, confines himself likewise to those treatises, dropping, however, the Îsâ, and adding the Maitrayana-upanishad, of which I have given a translation in this volume, and the Nrisimhottara-tapanîya-upanishad, the translation of which had to be reserved for the next volume.
