The Taittiriya Upanishad with the Commentaries of Sri Sankaracharya
The Taittiriya Upanishad with the Commentaries of Sri Sankaracharya (3 Parts in One Book)
The human being is not what he seems to be. He is not one person but five-fold, one covering another. The outermost person has to journey within to his inmost Self and return to the surface a new being altogether, according to the Taittiriya Upanisads.
The high importance of this classical Upanisads as exclusive treating, among other things, of the five Kosas (sheaths of the Self) cannot be overemphasized. As the doctrine of the Kosas is pivotal to Vedanta on its theoretical as well as its practical side, students of the Vedanta should be thoroughly familiar with it before proceeding further in their studies. The present work fulfills the need in ample measure.
The work now presented to the public contains the original Sanskrit text of the Upanisads in Devanagari with a literal translation into English both of the text and of the three commentaries the Bhasyas of Shankaracharya, the Vartika of Sureśvaracharya and the Bhāṣya of Vidyaranya. A few notes have been extracted from Anandagiri's glosses on the Bhasyas and the Vartikā; also from Vanamālā, Achyuta Kṛṣṇānanda Swam loss on the Bhāṣya. The translator added some notes of his when it seemed most necessary.
