DESCRIPTION
Maitrayaniya Upanisad belongs to the Maitrayaniya Sakha of the Black Yajurveda. It appears to have originally formed a part of a lost Brahmana belonging to that Sakha, just as the Brhadaranyaka comes at the end of the Satapatha Brahmana. The preceding Karma Kanda, according to the commentator, consisted of four parts which described the various ceremonial rites; and the Upanisad was the fitting conclusion by which the initiated devotee is led from ceremonial to spiritual worship. Its main subject is a dialogue said to have been held between King Brhadratha and the sage Sakayanya, who relates the divine science of Brahman as it had been delivered to him by the sage Maitri of Maitreya, the son of Mitra.
