Taittiriya Upanishad is part of Taittiriya Aranyaka, chs. 7-8-9. Ch. 10 is known as Mahanarayana Upanishad (and perhaps Narayana Valli). The translation of the latter is done separately (it is much longer than the Tait. upan.). If someone is aware of another explanation, it may kindly be posted.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Dear Advaitins, At the conclusion of the Vaiswa Deva Mantra passage of the Narayana Valli of the same Upanishad (taittarIya), we get another insight into the significance of Om. " Brahman is the meaning of Omkara. It is the embodiment of All that is subtle,gross and casual. My salutations to that Brahman! That Omkaram resides in the caves of the hearts of the human beings. O Brahman(Pranavam)! You are the sacrificial ritual, You are the Vashatkaram (Power). You are Indra, Rudra, Vishnu, Brahma, Water, Shining Stars and Ambrosia (Immortality).It is for these reasons that the Brahadaranyaka Upanishad points out again that the Pranavam is identical to Brahman and should therefore be worshipped as Brahaman.In the fourth Anuvakha of Siksha Valli of the Taittiriya Upanishad, Om is pointed out as the most sacred Mantra for the aspirant to illuminate all his faculties including his own intellect(Medha Sakti) . Pranavam is recognized here as the sheath of Brahman and the invocation of OM is declared as the equivalent of the invocation of Brahman. http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/cgi-bin/kbase/Aum ============ If the Vaishwa Deva Mantra comes in MahAnArAyaNa upanishad i think then it is one and the same. > > Taittiriya Upanishad is part of Taittiriya Aranyaka, chs. 7-8- 9. > Ch. 10 is known as Mahanarayana Upanishad (and perhaps Narayana Valli). > The translation of the latter is done separately (it is much longer > than the Tait. upan.).

The Acharya has commented on only these vallis. The MahAnArAyaNa (M.N.) UpaniShad, as rightly referenced above, is commented upon completely (along with the three vallis spoken of above) by Swami VidyAraNya, popularly known as SAyaNa BhAShya. This has been published by the AnandAsram press, PuNe. In this book one can get the bhAShyam for the popular sUktas like the PuruSha sUkta, the medhA sUkta, Na karmaNaa.. mantra, the aruNa prashna, etc., etc., which are all part of that M.N.Upanishad, coming under the larger classification termed: 'TaittirIya AraNyaka'. Pranams, subbu Om Tat Sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Sir, Thanks for the information. It will be very much useful because i will be able to understand the deeper import of these suktas and especially Na karmana mantra which we chant quite often.
