(Being the Upanishad of the six Questions )
FIRST QUESTION
1. OM! Salutation to the Supreme Spirit. The supreme is OM.
Sukesha the Bharadwaja: the Shaibya, Satyakama; Gargya, son of the Solar race; the Koshalan, son of Ashwala; the Bhargava of Vidarbha; and Kabandhi Katyayana;—these sought the Most High God, believing in the Supreme and to the Supreme devoted. Therefore they came to the Lord Pippalada, for they said, "This is he that shall tell us of that Universal."
