Summary: Respectfully disagree
Comment: This review is limited to the translation only, and on that I must disagree with the other reviewers. The translation, as I understand it by Aurobindo himself, is nearly impenetrable. The syntax and grammar, sentence arrangement and choice of vocablulary are confusing and do not effectively convey the meaning of the text. This became sharply apparent when I read another translation and the profound beauty of the text came through. Try the Juan Mascaro version.

Rating: 5
Summary: The Best Translation In English
Comment: I have not come across any better translation better than this. Anyone interested in the Upanishads... look no further. This one is a polished version of an earlier edition.

Rating: 5
Summary: Most Impressive Translation
Comment: The language is, the far, the clearest that I have come across compared to translations by other authors. Sri Aurobindo has also shown the Sanskrit text with his English translation---no author would do such a thing unless he/she is confident of doing a good work at the translation.

Strongly recommended and my gratitude to the author for his good work and effort.
