The contents of Parts Two and Three of this volume were never prepared by Sri Aurobindo for publication. The third part comprises incomplete and fragmentary writings on the Upanishads and Vedanta in general.Īll the texts have been checked against the relevant manuscript and printed versions.

The second includes early translations of the Prashna, Mandukya, Aitareya and Taittiriya Upanishads, and incomplete translations of and commentaries on some other Upanishads and Vedantic texts. The second and third parts consist of material from Sri Aurobindo's manuscripts.

The pieces in this part, along with his final translation of and commentary on the Isha Upanishad, are his most mature works of Upanishadic interpretation. The first consists of translations and commentaries that were published during Sri Aurobindo's lifetime. (His writings on that Upanishad appear in Isha Upanishad, volume 17 of THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SRI AUROBINDO.) It also includes his translations of later Vedantic texts and writings on the Upanishads and Vedanta philosophy in general. This volume comprises Sri Aurobindo's translations of and commentaries on Upanishads other than the Isha Upanishad.
