They are:
- Isa
- Kena
- Katha
- Prasna
- Mundaka
- Aitareya
- Taittiriya
- Chandogogya
- Brihadaranakya
- Kaushitaki
- Svetasvatara
- Maitrayani
--pranams,
Well, Mandukya (from sarabhanga ji's 5) is missing in the above list of 13. And Svetasvatara is missing from the five. Any light on this? Muktika Upanishad on the other hand, says that Mandukya is enough to attain Kaivalya and if Mandukya is not comprehended then a prescription for study of 10 Upanishads is given.
Om
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
