Samnyasa Upanishads: Hindu Scriptures on Asceticism and Renunciation c2.4

c2.4

Mary Jane Gormley read all the translations and helped me with more than commas and colons. Ross Vemeer assisted me in compiling the index. Anne Feldhaus read an early draft of the introduction; it is the better for it. Cynthia Read’s patience is matched only by that of my wife, Suman; to both a heartfelt thank you. To Meera this book is dedicated; contrary to Vedic theologians, she has proven that a daughter does indeed bring unsurpassable delight to a father and is “a light in the highest heaven.”
