[Advaita-l] Is there a Cityupanisad?

[Br. Pranipata Chaitanya]

Hari Om! PranaamsM 

The upaniShad name chitti finds a mention as available in Sadhale's collection at Sanskrit documents website. If you write to Sunder Hattangadi (sunderh at hotmail.com) it might be possible to get a copy. 

In Shri Guru Smriti,
Br. Pranipata Chaitanya
