Namaste
The Svetasvatara Upanishad reveals Rudra as the Brahman. It states Rudra is One and there is no place for a second. I am embarrassed to say, I cannot recall studying this. I know there is a translation by Max Muller, but I am not interested in that one.
I noticed Amazon has a copies for sale by Swami Thyagisananda. That might be a good edition. There are also versions for sale by Vedavati Vaidika, Swami Nikhilananda, Swami Sivananda.
Note – I am referring to the Svetasvatara, not the Sri Svetasvatara.
I found a free copy which was the translations by Sw. Nikhilananda, but what I am looking for is inclusive of the Sanskrit texts, word by word translation, full translation, and commentary.
One of the amazing verses (Sw. Nikhilananda) which I found intriguing is 1:4 – “The sages saw the wheel of Brahman, which has one felly, a triple tire, sixteen end-parts, fifty spokes with twenty counter spokes and six sets of eight, whose one rope is manifold, which moves on three different roads, and whose illusion arises from two causes”.
There is no commentary. But this is what I want to unlock.
I went to Omkara’s library, and found the same free copy by Sw. Nikhilananda.
So I want to buy a version inclusive of the Sanskrit texts, word by word translation, full translation, and commentary, any recommendations? And I want to unlock that verse with full understanding, any commentary or elucidation?
