[8] In the Telugu language anthology of 108 Upanishads of the Muktika canon, narrated by Rama to Hanuman, it is listed by Paul Deussen – a German Indologist and professor of philosophy, at number 92.

Addiction to observing Vedic rituals, with the objective to fulfill cherished desires, is darkness.

The Upanishad asserts that Samadhi while being a yogic accomplishment is not Self-knowledge and moksha,[2] nor is it the dissolution of mind to external objects.

[14] This is when, asserts the text, the yogin fully feels and understands "the radiant knowledge of sun is in me, Shiva is within me, this transcendent radiance in the universe is in me", and such is the conviction with which he attains the union with Mahavishnu within.

[16] These ideas are also found in Greek Neoplatonic philosophy, states Rosan, particularly the works of 5th-century Proclus.
