कौषीतकिब्राह्मणम्

[rniyengar]

Dear Scholars,

Is a critical edition of कौषीतकिब्राह्मणम् (not the Upanishad of that name) available? I am aware of the text edited by Lindner in 1887 or so. As per www. vedicheritage.gov.in (IGNCA) this text is equated with  the  शांखायनब्राह्मणम्  of Anandashram series. Is this understanding correct? What is the basis for GoI to take texts with different titles to be one and the same? Is this equation attested by the traditional commentators and followers of Rgveda in India? I remember to have read somewhere that the कौषीतकिब्राह्मणम् has a commentary by Vinayaka Bhatta. Is this information correct and if so are there any online links for further details including manuscripts?  

C. V Vaidya refers to the text in his History, but does not get into critical comparison.  Thanks in advance...

I have seen somewhere Kaus"Itakyupanis"ad  itself 

    being  referred to  as Kaus"ItakibrAhmaNopanis"ad.

Texts sometimes are alternatively named.

If I am aright,  pan"cavim's'abrAhmaNa and tANDyAyanabrAhmaNa are the same.

I must verify before I can confirm.

Kaushitaki  - The above name can be seen here:

http://advaitasharada.sringeri.net/display/bhashya/kst 

In the group of Upanishads published under the name 'उपनिषदां समुच्चयः' by Anandashram  1895, we have this Upanishad with the name 'कौषीतक्युपनिषत्'

The content of both the documents mentioned above is the same.

Must be  tANDyabrAhmaNa,

not   tANDyAyanabrAhmaNa .

Iyengarji,

According to Ganga Sagar Rai & Jan Gonda Kaushitaki Brahmana is also known as Sankhayana Brahmana. Giving below link to the relevant page in Jan Gonda's Vedic Literature.

In the absence of critical edition, you may find Sreekrishna Sharma's edition of Kaushitaki Brahmana with Vyakhya of Vijaya helpful. It was edited on the basis of 8 manuscripts.

Dear Shankara,

Many thanks for your help. I have downloaded the commentary on the Kaushitaki Brahmana

For differences between Kaushitaki and Shankhayana, please refer to the attached paper. The differences between Kerala (Kaushitaki) and non Kerala (Shankhayana) manuscripts of the Upanishad are well known. The two have the same relationship as Kanva and Madhyandina of Shuklayajurveda.

Regards,

Vishal

It seems that E. R. Sreekrishna Sarma's careful edition of the Kauṣītaki-brāhmaṇa is not available on the web, or else Shankara-ji would have found it. It was published in 1968 by Franz Steiner Verlag, and is no longer listed on their website, so is apparently out of print. I have therefore scanned it and posted it here: http://www.downloads.prajnaquest.fr/BookofDzyan/Sanskrit%20Hindu%20Texts/kausitaki-brahmana_1968.pdf

While at it, I have also added a few other Brāhmaṇa texts.

For the various editions of the Brāhmaṇas and Āraṇyakas published until about 1935, an extremely helpful guide is the Introduction by Viśva-bandhu to his Vaidika-padānukramakoṣa or A Vedic Word-concordance, vol. II, The Brāhmaṇas and the Āraṇyakas, part I, published in 1935, with a few additions in part II, published in 1936. This was the first volume published (vol. I, part 1, Saṁhitās, was published in 1942). So, for example, he says about the 1911 Ānandāśrama Sanskrit Series edition of the Śāṅkhāyana-brāhmaṇa: "a hopeless production, being full of textual errors and typographical oversights" (p. xix). All of these helpful comments were deleted in the "enlarged and revised second edition," published in 1973.
