Mandukya Upanishad, with Gaudapada's Karika

This Upanishad is a part of the Atharva Veda. It is not an easy scripture, but is none the less an important book for the study of Vedanta. It is one of the shortest of the ten principal Upanishads, and like the other Upanishads discusses the problem of ultimate reality.The scripture is important enough in Vedanta that Vedanta's chief exponent, Shankara wrote a full commentary on the book. The translation therefore has Shankara's commentary.This Lokeswarananda edition has the Devanagri script, Roman transliteration, and English translation and includes Gaudapada's Karika. It has extensive notes based on Shankara's commentary. It also has the largest print of the four translations.The famed Karika of Gaudapada is fully explored in this translation. Each verse of the Karika demands profound thinking before it can be understood. For some, this can indeed be a difficult scripture to study.
