§ Like Kṛishṇa in the Bhagavadgítá. The *Kaivalyopanishad* is translated *I. St.*, ii. 9–14; on *Atharvaśiras* see *ibid.*, i. pp. 382–385. [Text of, and two commentaries on, the Kaivalyopanishad printed in *Bibl. Ind.*, 1874; the first commentary is that of Náráyaṇa; the second is described by the editor as that of Śaṃkara, in the colophon as that of Śaṃkaránanda; it follows, however, from Rájendra Lála Mitra's *Catalogue*, i. 32, that it is different from the commentary written by the latter; and according to the same authority, ii. 247, it is identical rather with that of Vidyáraṇya. In Náráyaṇa's introduction this Upanishad is described (exactly like the Jábálop.!) as *ekachatváriṅśattamí*. The *Śiras-* or *Atharvaśiras*-Upanishad is likewise printed in *Bibl. Ind.* (1872), with Náráyaṇa's comm., which describes it as *rudrádhyáyaḥ saptakhaṇḍaḥ*. See also Rájendral., i. 32 (comm. by Śaṃkaránanda), 48.] ^* See *I. St.*, ii. 53, and Vans Kennedy, *Researches into the Nature and Affinity of Hindu and Ancient Mythology*, p. 442, &c. [Taylor, ii. 469–471. By Rájendral., i. 61, a *Gáṇapatyapúrvatápaníyopanishad* is mentioned; by Bühler, *Cat. of MSS. from Guj.*, i. 70, a *Gaṇapatipúrvatápiní* and a *Gaṇeśatápiní*; and by Kielhorn, *Sanskrit MSS. in the Southern Division of the Bombay Pres.* (1869), p. 14, a *Gaṇapatipúrvatápaníyopanishad*.]
