Brhadaranyaka Upanisad
Brhadaranyaka Upanisad- Text in Sanskrit and Translation with Notes in English from the Commentaries of Sanakaracharya and the Gloss of Anandagiri
"The dawn is the head of the sacrificial horse', is composed for the sake of those who wish to liberate themselves from the world, so that they may acquire the knowledge, that Brahman and the soul are the same, a knowledge, by which the liberation from the cause of the world is accomplished. This knowledge of Brahman is called Upanishad because it annihilates the world, together with its cause (ignorance) in such as possess this knowledge: for this is the meaning of the word Sad, proceeded by Upani. A work that treats the same knowledge, is also called Upanishad. The above-mentioned Upanishads, which contain six chapters, are called Aranyaka, as being spoken in a desert, and Brhad (great) to its extent.
