The name of a Brāhmana, an Āranyaka, and an Upanishad of the Rig-veda. The Brāhmana has been edited and translated by Dr. Haug; the text of the Āranyaka has been published in the \*Bibliotheca Indica\* by Rājendra Lāla, and there is another edition. The Upanishad has been translated by Dr. Roer in the same series. “The Aitareya Āranyaka consists of five books, each of which is called Āranyaka. The second and third books form a separate Upanishad, and a still further subdivision here takes place, inasmuch as the four last sections of the second book, which are particularly consonant with the doctrines of the Vedānta system, pass as the Aitareyopanishad.”—\*Weber.\* - [Previous: c5.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.43) - [Next: c5.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.45) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) ## Linked texts (1) - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.44) · Pramāṇa
