The Human Being is Five-Fold One Covering Another - Not What He Seems To Be

 - Human is not one person - The outermost person has to journey within to his inmost Self and return to the surface a new being altogether, according to the Taittriya Upanishad

- The high importance of this classical Upanishad as exclusively treating, among other things, of the five kosas (sheaths of the Self) cannot be over-emphasized

- As the doctrine of Kosas is pivotal to Vedanta on its theoretical as well as its practical side, students of the Vedanta should be thoroughly familiar with it

- Before proceeding further in their studies - The present work fulfils the need in ample measure - The work now presented to the public

- Contains the original Sanskrit text of the Upanishad in Devanagari with a literal translation into English both of the text and of the three commentaries 

- The Bhashya of Jagadguru Adi Shanakarcharya, the Vartika of Sureshvaracharya, and the Bhashya of Vidyaranya. A few notes have been extracted

- From Anandagiri's glosses on the Bhasya and on the Vartika - also from Vanamala, Achyuta Krishnananda Swamins gloss on the Bhasya 

- The translator has added some notes of his own where they seemed most necessary. This volume brings together three books

- Jagadguru Vidyaranya's masterly Introduction To The study of the Upanishads, The Taittiriya Upanishad, with the three commentaries, and the Atharvana Upanishads: Amritabindu Kaivalya

- All the three transalted by Sastri the well known translator of Jaagdguru Adi Shankaracharaya's Gita Bhashya
