Dear Bhagavatas,

I request someone to please clarify if Mahopanishad,

Narayana Upanishad and Mahanarayaniya Upanishad refer to three

independent upanishads or if some of the aforementioned are merely

multiple names for the same body of text. If these are distinct,

please indicate which of the four vedas to which each belongs. Thank

you.

[ They are different texts. Mahopanishad and the Mahanarayana are

quoted by Ramanuja, and the Narayana Upanishad is not. The Mahanarayana

Upanishad is also called the Yajniki Upanishad and properly placed

is the concluding part of the Taittiriya Upanishad, and hence belongs

to the Krishna Yajur Veda. The Narayana Upanishad belongs to the

Atharva Veda. I don't know offhand to what Veda the Mahopanishad

belongs. -- Moderator ]

Dear Mani,

Are you referring to

"ambhasya paarE" as Mahanarayana Upanishad.

"atha purushO ha vai" as Narayana Upanishad

Kindly clarify..

 

How does MahOpanishad start?

Regards,

Nanmaaran
