🔝 Upaniṣads with translation and with Śaṅkara Bhāṣyam

Īśā Upaniṣad (IsU) ♬ fr. Śukla Yajur Veda 🔗
Īśā, also called Īśāvāsya, is a concise Upaniṣad that uniquely occurs within a Veda proper, instead of in the usual following Brāhmaṇa or Āraṇyaka sections which interpret, explain and go in-depth upon their Veda – their ‘Knowledge’. Īśā briefly covers Knowledge of the Lord as mental-Renunciation of all things and activity, its lesser Scripture-based Karma-Yoga attitude towards one’s Rituals and activities, and, least of all, the failure of not recognizing the Lord behind Any or All. Beyond those three, is knowing the Lord as oneself. Again short of this last, there is applying meditation to the components of ritual or any activity, which leads to a more superior result.
It consists of 18 mantras.

Kena Upaniṣad (KenU) ♬ fr. Sāma Veda 🔗
Kena is an anonymous teacher to student presentation of the Teaching, in the form of the query – Who? (‘Kena’) is the Hearing of hearing, the Mind of mind, etc., in two chapters. Followed by a story of the Lord regarding the Deities and Demons in the last two chapters, which points out that this ‘Who’ is the Lord within All.
It consists of 4 chapters of 34 mantras.

Kāṭha Upaniṣad (KathU) ♬ fr. Kṛṣṇa Yajur Veda 🔗
Kāṭha is dialogue of a student, Naciketas, with Lord Death as his teacher concerning the reality of the Being who survives death, emphasising the student’s sole dedication to Knowledge as the essential qualification for this Teaching. It presents the Chariot analogy; the distraction of the out-going mind; the non-duality of Brahman (the Limitless Reality) and oneself; the indwelling self within all beings that assumes every form; the Lord Who is the Root and Tree of Creation; and the Yoga of not wavering from this Teaching.
It consists of 6 chapters of 260 mantras.

Praśna Upaniṣad (PrasU) ♬ fr. Atharva Veda 🔗
Praśna is a dialogue of the teacher Pippalāda with six students having their own queries (‘Praśnas’):
“From what indeed are all these beings born?”
Who are “the deities that sustain a creature?”
Who is this superior Prāṇa deity and “how does it relate to the external and the internal (adhyātma)?”
Who is the deity that “sees dream”, “has happiness”, and “in what do all these get merged?”
“The rare one who intently meditates upon that well-known Om until death, gains which world by that?”
and “Do you know the puruṣa of sixteen parts?”
The Praśna in this way consists of 6 chapters of 77 mantras.

Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad (MunU) ♬ fr. Atharva Veda 🔗
Muṇḍaka is a dialogue between the teacher Aṅgiras and the student Saunaka, asking “Upon having known what all this is (as well) known?” The answer covers the two types of knowledge: the Unlimited and the Limited; the ceiling spider analogy; the Tapas that is the Knowledge which manifests this world and by which all this is known; the divergent Path of Karma (Ritual) and Meditation, which are different from the inquiry with a Teacher into the “Uncreated” that “is not by action”; Who is this “imperishable Puruṣa?”; this Immortal please know in your heart as your self, through contemplation on Om; the two birds on the Tree of Saṃsāra analogy; this “ātman that alone one chooses, by that ātman is this ātman attained, since this ātman self-reveals its form”; the effort is called “Sannyāsa-Yoga”.
The Muṇḍaka consists of 6 chapters of 64 mantras.

Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad and Kārikā, plus Ṭīkā notes (ManU) ♬ the Upaniṣad is fr. Atharva Veda 🔗
Māṇḍūkya is just 12 mantras starting with “This very syllable ‘Om’ is all this. Here is an exposition of that Om…”. Śaṅkara’s commentary covers this Upaniṣad in his first chapter, and continues to cover his teacher’s teacher’s commentary (Kārikā) on this Upaniṣad through four chapters. Ānanda-giri’s commentary (Ṭīkā), a gloss on the terminology and ideas of these three works, is herein incorporated. The Kārikā and Śaṅkāra’s commentary with the Ṭīkā on all these thus present a salient philosophical analysis of Advaita Vedānta – displaying an uncompromising vision of Non-Duality.
The Kārikā has 215 verses.

Taittirīya Upaniṣad (TaitU) ♬ fr. Kṛṣṇa Yajur Veda 🔗
Taittirīya is a multi-topic Upaniṣad. It covers many aspects of the teacher-student relationship and duties; what the student should meditation upon; the direct nature of Brahman; the indirect nature as the fount of creation; the inmost levels of embodiments of oneself; the innermost embodiment being Ānanda, why are there degrees of Ānanda; how to go beyond the fear of losing Ānanda; the dialogue between the teacher Varuṇa and his son Bhṛgu; what are the vows and contemplations of one who knows this Teaching.
It consists of 3 chapters of 52 mantras.

Aitareya Upaniṣad (AitU) ♬ fr. Ṛg Veda 🔗
Aitareya covers the self manifesting as All this; how the various manifest deities survive and thrive; and how the self is the self of All.
It consists of 5 chapters of 33 mantras.

Chāndogya Upaniṣad (ChanU) ♬ fr. Sāma Veda 🔗
Chāndogya consists of six chapters. The first five chapters consist mostly of various upāsanas (meditations) – relating the parts to the whole, or the individual to the cosmic. These are indirect teachings on Brahman. The last three chapters mostly deal with more direct teachings on Brahman. The sixth chapter starts with the ‘The Non-Duality of the Self’ teaching of sage Uddālaka Āruṇi to his son Śvetaketu. The seventh chapter consists of sage Sanat-kumāra teaching Nārada, The final chapter consists of the Upaniṣad itself concluding the teachings.
Chāndogya consists of 8 chapters of 629 mantras.

Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad (BrhU) ♬ fr. Śukla Yajur Veda 🔗
Bṛhad-āraṇyaka consists of eight chapters. The first chapter has several creation stories and emphasises these as nothing but name and form (or name, form and action) – their reality being only the Self. The second chapter has a dialogue of Gārgya trying to teach Ajāta-śatru “about Brahman”, but finally the later proved to be the teacher of Gārgya. This is followed by Yājña-valkya teaching his wife Maitreyī what is the most Priya (beloved) regarding oneself and regarding the universe. The third chapter has the dialogue before Emperor Janaka between the teacher Yājña-valkya and nine questioning scholars. The fourth chapter has several dialogues between the teacher Yājña-valkya and Emperor Janaka as his student. This is followed by a repetition of Yājña-valkya teaching his wife Maitreyī what is the most Priya. The fifth chapter adds several more meditations on the conditioned Self, within the realm of names and forms. The sixth chapter adds more meditations on Prāṇa (the vital force), followed by the Kṣatriya teacher Jīvala teaching the Brāhmaṇa Gautama, Śveta-ketu’s father, on the paths of souls from heaven to birth in this world and onwards.
Bṛhad-āraṇyaka consists of 6 chapters of 435 mantras.

Śvetāśvatara lays out its topics in the first mantra, “What is the cause? Is it brahman? From what were we born? By what do we survive? Where is the ultimate abode? Governed in pleasures and otherwise, by whom do we obey the order (the way things are laid out)”. Fifteen of its mantras are informatively quoted in AK Aruna’s Yoga Sūtras Translation and Commentary.

Word Index to 10 Upaniṣads pdf (Dasa_Upanisad_Nighantu.pdf) 🔗
This is a pdf of one of my old books (currently out-of-print) that I had collected in my studies. It proved most valuable when analysing the mantras of the ten major Upaniṣads – as it alphabetically displays the full (Sandhi-broken) form of each word and verb, gives its simplest English meaning, and its various locations in each of these Upaniṣads (Iśa, Kena, Kāṭha, Praśna, Muṇḍaka, Māṇḍūkya, Taittirīya, Aitareya, Chāndogya, and Bṛhad-Āraṇyaka).

Catus-Sūtrī of Brahma-Sūtra-Bhāṣyam w/Translation 🔗
Catus-Sūtrī of Brahma-Sūtra-Bhāṣyam is just the first four Sūtras with their commentary and its introduction. This often is used as text for the conclusion of long-term Advaita Vedānta instruction. To be most generous, we have added the Transliteration of the Devanagari in the Catus-Sūtrī.

Yoga Sūtras (YS) 🙏 ♬ Translation and Commentary in the Light of Vedanta Scriptures by AK Aruna (primarily English) 🔗
The Yoga Sūtras traditionally belong to the Yoga community, mostly separate from Advaita Vedānta. But even Vedānta students can and do look at or study these Sūtras with Vyāsa’s and others’ commentaries. Since the topics of these Sūtras involve the nature of the Lord (Puruṣa) and of thoughts, the contemplation of the Lord and the Self, and Yoga attitudes and practices, then the Vedānta scripture very much has authority on these for us. This Yoga Sūtras shows these Sūtras as viewed from the ancient scriptural texts as their rightful fountain source. Translated and elaborately commented on in English, with a Vṛtti commentary, by AK Aruna.

🔝 General Sanskrit Dictionaries

Macdonell Sanskrit-English Dictionary (MacD) Easiest, good dictionary (Split into two to load faster) 🔗
The Macdonell Sanskrit-English Dictionary is the easiest and most adequate Sanskrit to English dictionary I have found and regularly use.

Nearly all the usual words that Vedānta texts employ can be found in this right-sized dictionary.

🔝 Specialized Dictionaries

Apte English-Sanskrit Dictionary (AptESD) To find the Sanskrit from words you know 🔗
Apte English-Sanskrit Dictionary can serve two purposes. Sometimes I find myself looking up a provided English translation of a Sanskrit word to find its matching synonyms.

The other purpose is the curiosity of what Sanskrit words match an English word I am interested in

Dictionary of Sanskrit Grammar pdf (SGramDict.pdf) 🔗
Traditional Sanskrit Grammar books and dictionaries use Sanskrit grammatical terminology (instead of Greek, Latin or English grammar terminology), and very technical Pāṇini codes. This dictionary explains these terms and codes.

🔝 Sanskrit Grammar

Sanskrit Grammar (SG) For quick referencing. aka: The Aruna Sanskrit Grammar Reference 🔗
Sanskrit Grammar by AK Aruna is based on Arthur Macdonell’s A Sanskrit Grammar for Students, a very well planned, logical, and especially concise presentation meant for college level studies. Many of his small or medium paragraphs have been converted into visually simpler charts – hopefully making this offering a visually quick lookup reference style grammar source book, and perhaps easier to remember.
