The above is rather an exhaustive list of subjects collected by Dr. Radhamukund Mookerji,² from various Brāhmaṇas and Upaniṣads. Chāndogya Upaniṣad alone gives a fairly good number of subjects. Says Nārada³ to Sanatkumāra: "I have studied, most Reverend Sir, the Ṛigvēda, the Yajurvēda, the Sāmavēda, the Atharvavēda as fourth, the epic and the mythological poems as the fifth vēda, grammar, arithmetic, divination, chronology, dialectics, politics, theology, necromancy, the art of war, astronomy, snake-charming, and the fine arts.”
