An Early Upanisadic Reader: With Notes, Glossary And An Appendix Of Related Vedic Texts

The present volume is intended as a supplement to Lanman's Sanskrit reader. It is hoped that its focus on the early Upanisads makes the transition easier from Lanman's classical and epic selections to the language of the Vedic tradition.
