The Taittiriya Upanishad with the Commentaries of Sri Sankaracharya (3 Parts in One Book)

About the 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 over emphasized.

The present work fulfils 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 on the Vartikā; also from Vanamālā, Achyuta Kṛṣṇānanda Swam loss on the Bhāṣya. The transla added some notes of his own wheney seemed most necessary.
