"Robert E. Hume's translation of the thirteen principal Upanishads was published more than a hundred years ago, and revised more than seventy years ago. It has long been recognized as a classic translation which provides a faithful rendering of the original Sanskrit into twentieth-century English.

This is an invaluable book for anyone interested in classical Indian thought, ancient Hinduism, and the sacred texts of Vedic Sanskrit." (jacket)
