Some Remarks on the foregoing lists of Upanishads, by E. Roer. 



In comparing the list of Mr. Elliot (which is the same with that of 

 the Mahavakya Ratnavali and the Muktika Upanishads) with the col- 

 lection of Upanishads in the Atharva Ve'da, we find considerable differ-

 Atharva- Veda, viz. 



1. Munda. 2, Pras'na. 3, Atharvasiras. 4, Atharvas'ikha. 5, Man- 

 dukya. 6, Atma. 7, Nrisinha Tapana. 8, Brihadnarayana (Maha 

 N.) 9, Garuda and 10 Ramatapani. 



2. Twenty-two Upanishads in the Atharva collection are assigned 

 to other Vedas in Mr. Elliot's list, viz. 



To the Rig Veda (1.) 1, Nada Bindu.

 Valli. 11, Narayana. 12, Kaivalya. 13, Kshurika. 14, Garbha. 15, 

 Yoga S'ikha. 16, YogaTattwa. 17, Kalagni Rudra. 18, Sarvasara. 



To the Sama (4.) viz. 19, Maha. 20, Sanyasa. 21, Arunya; and 

 22, Kena. 



3. Eight Upanishads belong exclusively to the Atharva collection, 

 viz. 1, Chiilika. 2, Nila-Rudra. 3, Brahma Bindu. 4, Kantha S'ruti. 

 5, Pindu. 6, Ananda-valli. 7, Brigu-valli ; and 8, Asrama. 



4. Twenty-one Upanishads, which according to the Muktika belong 

 to the Atharva Veda, are not found in the Atharva collection. They 

 are :
