Though there have been stray translations of some of the Upaniṣadbbasyas belonging to the Ramanuja school of philosophy like those of the Kathopantsad etc., by the learned Prof. K.C.

Birth and death, which are everyday features have been enigmas for people of all times. Besides these, the rsts were also concerned about more fundamental questions such as their own identi- ties, their destinies and so on. In short, they were driven by a quest for knowledge about the entire universe starting from their own selves. Nevertheless their aim was not just that; they also wanted to attain emancipation and complete freedom from bodily existence.
