Samnyasa Upanishads: Hindu Scriptures on Asceticism and Renunciation c4.3

c4.3

The translation follows Schrader’s critical edition. It contains numerous conjectural readings that are on the whole plausible and necessary. I have not noted all these conjectural readings in the translation; they are meaningless to readers unfamiliar with the original Sanskrit, and those who have access to the original can always find them in the critical edition. I have placed within brackets the following: (1) all explanatory material not syntactically connected to the translation; (2) numbers of sections not given in the critical edition; (3) page numbers of the critical edition; and (4) passages that are placed within brackets in the critical edition.
