This Upanişad, after explaining the primary principles, as consisting of 24, 36 or 96 Tattvas, according as they are considered more or less comprehensively, describes the characteristics of one who is fit to learn the Brahma-Vidya ; it emphasises the difficulty which is necessarily found in association with the inadequate language of man, when it is used in describing the nature of the highest knowledge about the Brahman; and it concludes with a discourse on the value and purpose of Yoga.
