The ideal edition for the serious investigator who is not a specialist in sanskrit or sanskrit studies. Contains the earliest and perhaps most important Upanisads which predate Buddhism and are likely to have influenced Gotama Buddha. The sanskrit text is well printed in nagari script. The translation is clear and readable.
