Verily, this Soul (Ātman)—poets declare—wanders here on earth from body to body, unovercome, as it seems, by the bright or the dark fruits of action. He who on account of his unmanifestness, subtilty, imperceptibility, incomprehensibility, and selflessness is \[apparently\] unabiding and a doer in the unreal—he, truly, is not a doer, and he is abiding. Verily, he is pure, steadfast and unswerving, stainless, unagitated, desireless, fixed like a spectator, and self-abiding. As an enjoyer of righteousness, he covers himself (ātmānam) with a veil made of qualities; \[but\] he remains fixed—yea, he remains fixed!" > — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads - [Previous: 2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.maitri.2.10) - [Next: 2.c](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.maitri.2.c) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.maitri.2) ## Translations (2) - [The Thirteen Principal Upanishads](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.maitri~en-hume.2.p32) — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, English - [The Upanishads, Part II (SBE 15): Maitrâyaṇa-brâhmaṇa-upanishad](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.maitri~en-muller.2.6) — Friedrich Max Müller 1884, English ## Commentaries (3) - [Maitryupaniṣaddīpikā (Rāmatīrtha)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.maitri!ramatirtha.2.7) — Rāmatīrtha 1550, Sanskrit - [Commentary of Upaniṣadbrahmayogin](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.maitri!upanisadbrahmayogin.2.11) — Upaniṣadbrahmayogin 1700, Sanskrit - [Maitrāyaṇīyopaniṣadvivaraṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.maitri!upanisad-brahmayogi.2.11) — Upaniṣadbrahmayogī, Sanskrit ## Linked texts (7) - [Īśādiviṃśottaraśatopaniṣadaḥ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.isadivimsottarasatopanisadah.3.39_73) — Sanskrit - [Maitrāyaṇīyāraṇyaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.aranyaka.maitrayaniya.2.7) — Sanskrit - [Aṣṭottaraśatopaniṣadaḥ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.samanya.astottarasatopanisadah.279.11) — Sanskrit - [Aṣṭottaraśatopaniṣad](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.astottarasatopanisad.33.11) — Sanskrit - [Maitrāyaṇīsaṃhitā (ed.
