Ishavasya Upanishad with Shankara鈥檚 Commentary
by M. Hiriyanna | 1911 | 8,153 words
Summary: The Ishavasya Upanishad (or simply Isha) is one of the shortest of its kind, and basically represents a brief philosophical poem discussing the soul/self (Atman). This edition contains the Kanva recension, consisting of 18 verses.
The words 鈥淚sha vasyam鈥� literally translates to 鈥渆nveloped by the Lord鈥� and refers to the theory of soul (Atman); a concept used in both dualism and non-dualism. This book however, including the commentary of Shankara, focuses on non-dualism (advaita).
The title in IAST is: 莫艣膩v膩sya Upani峁d, 艢a峁卥ara Bh膩峁a.
In Devanagari: 啶堗ざ啶距さ啶距じ啷嵿く 啶夃お啶ㄠた啶粪う啷�, 啶多啷嵿啶� 啶ぞ啶粪啶�
This English translation includes original Sanskrit text and the transliterated roman text in IAST format.
