This \u00c2ranyaka consists, as Rajendralal Mitra has shown in the Introduction to his edition of the work in the Bibliotheca Indica, of three portions. Out of its ten Prap\u00e2thakas, the first six form the \u00c2ranyaka proper, or the Karma-k\u00e2nda, as S\u00e2yana writes. Then follow Prap\u00e2thakas VII, VIII, and IX, forming the Taittir\u00eeyaka-upanishad; and lastly, the tenth Prap\u00e2thaka, the Y\u00e2g\u00f1ik\u00ee or Mah\u00e2n\u00e2r\u00e2yana-upanishad, which is called a Khila, and was therefore considered by the Br\u00e2hmans themselves as a later and supplementary work.\nSa\u1e45kara, in his commentary on the Taittir\u00eeyaka-upanishad, divides his work into three Adhy\u00e2yas, and calls the first Siksh\u00e2-vall\u00ee, the second the Brahm\u00e2nanda-vall\u00ee, while he gives no special name to the Upanishad explained in the third Adhy\u00e2ya. This, however, may be due to a mere accident, for whenever the division of the Taittir\u00eeyaka-upanishad into Vall\u00ees is mentioned, we always have three 1, the\n[paragraph continues] Siksh\u00e2-vall\u00ee, the Brahm\u00e2nanda-vall\u00ee, and the Bhrigu-vall\u00ee 1. Properly, however, it is only the second Anuv\u00e2ka of the seventh Prap\u00e2thaka which deserves and receives in the text itself the name of Siksh\u00e2dhy\u00e2ya, while the rest of the first Vall\u00ee ought to go by the name of Samhit\u00e2-upanishad 2, or S\u00e2mhit\u00ee-upanishad.\nS\u00e2yana 3, in his commentary on the Taittir\u00eeya-\u00e2ranyaka, explains the seventh chapter, the Siksh\u00e2dhy\u00e2ya (twelve anuv\u00e2kas), as S\u00e2mhit\u00ee-upanishad. His commentary, however, is called Siksh\u00e2-bh\u00e2shya. The same S\u00e2yana treats the eighth and ninth Prap\u00e2thakas as the V\u00e2runy-upanishad 4.\nThe \u00c2nanda-vall\u00ee and Bhrigu-vall\u00ee are quoted among the Upanishads of the \u00c2tharvana 5.\nAt the end of each Vall\u00ee there is an index of the Anuv\u00e2kas which it contains. That at the end of the first Vall\u00ee is intelligible. It gives the Prat\u00eekas, i.e. the initial words, of each Anuv\u00e2ka, and states their number as twelve. At the end of the first Anuv\u00e2ka, we have the final words 'satyam vadishy\u00e2mi,' and pa\u00f1ka ka, i.e. five short paragraphs at the end. At the end of the second Anuv\u00e2ka, where we expect the final words, we have the initial, i.e. s\u00eeksh\u00e2m, and then pa\u00f1ka, i.e. five sections in the Anuv\u00e2ka. At the end of the third Anuv\u00e2ka, we have the final words, but no number of sections. At the end of the fourth Anuv\u00e2ka, we have the final words of the three sections, followed by one paragraph; at the end of the fifth Anuv\u00e2ka, three final words, and two paragraphs, though the first paragraph belongs clearly to the third section. In the sixth Anuv\u00e2ka, we have the final words of the two Anuv\u00e2kas, and one paragraph. In the seventh Anuv\u00e2ka, there is the final word\nsarvam, and one paragraph added. In the eighth Anuv\u00e2ka, we have the initial word, and the number of sections, viz. ten. In the ninth Anuv\u00e2ka, there are the final words of one section, and six paragraphs. In the tenth Anuv\u00e2ka, there is the initial word, and the number of paragraphs, viz. six. In the eleventh Anuv\u00e2ka, we have the final words of four sections, and seven paragraphs, the first again forming an integral portion of the last section. The twelfth Anuv\u00e2ka has one section, and five paragraphs. If five, then the s\u00e2nti would here have to be included, while, from what is said afterwards, it is clear that as the first word of the Vall\u00ee is sam nah, so the last is vakt\u00e2ram.\nIn the second Vall\u00ee the index to each Anuv\u00e2ka is given at the end of the Vall\u00ee.\n1st Anuv\u00e2ka: prat\u00eeka: brahmavid, and some other catchwords, idam, ayam, idam.

Roer, p. 141) himself speaks of two Vall\u00ees, teaching the param\u00e2tmag\u00f1\u00e2na (the Siksh\u00e2-vall\u00ee has nothing to do with this), and Anquetil has Anandbli = \u00c2nanda-vall\u00ee, and Bharkbli = Bhrigu-vall\u00ee.\nxxviii:1 The third Vall\u00ee ends with Bhrigur ity upanishat.\nxxviii:2 See Taittir\u00eeyaka-upanishad, ed. Roer, p. 12.\nxxviii:3 See M. M., Alphabetisches Verzeichniss der Upanishads, p. 144.\nxxviii:4 The Anukraman\u00ee of the \u00c2trey\u00ee school (see Weber, Indische Studien, II, p. 208) of the Taittir\u00eeyaka gives likewise the name of V\u00e2run\u00ee to the eighth and ninth Prap\u00e2thaka, while it calls the seventh Prap\u00e2thaka the S\u00e2mhit\u00ee, and the tenth Prap\u00e2thaka the Y\u00e2g\u00f1ki-upanishad. That Anukraman\u00ee presupposes, however, a different text, as may be seen both from the number of Anuv\u00e2kas, and from the position assigned to the Y\u00e2g\u00f1ki as between the S\u00e2mhit\u00ee and V\u00e2run\u00ee Upanishads.\nxxviii:5 See M. M., Alphabetisches Verzeichniss der Upanishads.","title":"The Upanishads, Part 2 (SBE15): Introduction: III: The Ta...","type":"page"}
