Chāndogya Upaniṣad (Adhyāya 6)

This is the sixth chapter of the Chāndogya Upaniṣad, containing up to 16 khaṇḍas (sections). The chapter narrates the dialogue between the father, Uddālaka Aruṇa, and his son, Śvetaketu. In this conversation, Aruṇa imparts insight into Brahman (the supreme reality) to Śvetaketu. The well-known mahāvākya (great phrase) "tat tvam asi" is discussed in this chapter. This manuscript contains the commentary of Śaṃkarācārya, known as the Śāṃkarabhāṣya. This manuscript is similar to Item 718.
