[Advaita-l] ya eko avarno...

[Vidyasankar Sundaresan]

These are from the SvetASvataropanishat. The first verse is 4.1 and the second verse is 3.3. The website http://sanskrit.gde.to has the properly transliterated text in various forms. Follow the link to upanishhat under "Sanskrit Documents" and look for this upanishat.

In the second verse, the third quatrain reads hiraNyagarbhaM janayAmAsa pUrvaM, in the upanishat. There is a variant reading of this verse in the mahAnArAyaNa upanishat too (taittirIya AraNyaka, last chapter), which reads.

yo devaanaam prathamaM purastaad viSvaadhiyo rudro mahaRshiH |
hiraNyagarbhaM paSyata jaayamaanaM sa no devaH Subhayaa smRtyaa saMyunaktu ||

Regards,
Vidyasankar
