[Advaita-l] Kaivalyopanishad referred by Shankara

[V Subrahmanian]

In the introduction to the Aitareya Upanishad bhAShyam Shankara cites the
KaivalyopaniShad mantra 'na karamaNA na prajayA dhanEna tyAgEnaike
amRtatvam AnashuH' by mentioning 'iti cha kaivalya-shrutiH'.   It is not
known whether there is any other reference to this upanishad in the
prasthAnatraya bhAShyam.

Incidentally, it is in this UpaniShad we have the mantra:

umasahayam paramesvaram prabhum trilocanam nilakantham prasantam |

dhyatva munirgacchati bhutayonim samastasaksim tamasah parastat || 7||

Here Lord Shiva is held to be the parabrahman.

 sa brahma sa sivah sendrah so'ksarah paramah svarat |
sa eva visnuh sa pranah sa kalo'gnih sa candramah || 8||

It also specifies that the gods vishnu, brahmA, indra etc. are all
manifestations of the Supreme Shiva - parabrahman.
