dagger By Colebrooke it is reckoned as two Upanishads. [^ddagger]: Thus we have *visasarja* instead of *vya-cha-sarja*; *Kanyákumárím* instead of °*ri*; *Kátyáyanīyai* instead of *oyanáya*, &c. [^section]: See *I. St.*, ii. 195, ff., where the various translations and editions are cited. Since then this Upanishad has appeared in a new edition, with Śaṃkara's commentary, in the *Bibl. Indica*, vol. viii., edited by Dr. Roer [and translated in vol. xv.]. [^parallel]: Two other names, which are given to the father of Nachiketas, viz., Auddálaki and Vájaśravasa, conflict with the usual accounts. Vájaśravasa appears also in the passage above referred to of the Taittiríya-Bráhmaṇa; whether Auddálaki does so likewise I am unable to say. [Auddálaki is wanting in the T. Br., as also the whole passage itself.] Benfey (in the *Göttinger Gelehrte Anzeigen*, January 1852, p. 129) suggests that we should refer Auddálaki Áruṇi to Nachiketas; but the incompatibility of the two names is not thereby removed. Áruṇi is Uddálaka, and Auddálaki is Áruṇeya.
