Synopsis

Excerpt from The Thirteen Principal Upanishads Translated From the Sanskrit: With an Outline or the Philosophy of the Upanishads and an Annotated Bibliography

It is hardly necessary to dwell here on the difficulties and perplexities that confront anyone engaged on such a task; texts such as these are among the hardest to present adequately in another language, and a completely satisfying translation is wellnigh unattainable. I trust that I have succeeded at least in being literal without becoming cryptic, and in attain ing clearness without exegetical accretions. Further remarks on the plan and arrangement of the translation will be found on subsequent pages (pp. Xii-xiv), which those making use of this book are requested to consult.
