Questioned about the possibility of publishing Kena Upanishad in December 1927, Sri Aurobindo wrote: вЂњMy present intention is not to publish it as it stands. Their publication in book-form was planned, and production was actually begun in the summer of 1920 but the proposed book was never issued.

Sometime between 19, he lightly revised the Arya translation and commentary. He wrote each of the instalments immediately before its publication.

They are published in Part Two, Section Four.Д«etween June 1915 and July 1916, Sri Aurobindo published a new translation of the Kena Upanishad and a fifteen-chapter commentary on it in the Arya. All of these pieces were left incomplete. (Only three of the seven translations in this book were by Sri Aurobindo: Isha, Kena and Mundaka.)Д«etween 19, Sri Aurobindo began three commentaries on and one annotated translation of the Kena. In 1920 the Karmayogin translation was reproduced in The Seven Upanishads, published by Ashtekar & Co., Poona.

(This translation forms part of a typewritten manuscript, hereafter referred to as TMS, which Sri Aurobindo entitled вЂњThe Upanishads rendered into simple and rhythmic EnglishвЂќ.) The TMS translation of the Kena was lightly revised and published in the weekly review Karmayogin in June 1909. Sri Aurobindo first translated the Kena Upanishad in Baroda around 1900. In this edition these problems have been indicated as far as possible by means of the notation shown below. They have been transcribed from manuscripts that sometimes present textual difficulties. The contents of Parts Two and Three of this volume were never prepared by Sri Aurobindo for publication. The third part comprises incomplete and fragmentary writings on the Upanishads and Vedanta in general.ДЄll the texts have been checked against the relevant manuscript and printed versions. The second includes early translations of the Prashna, Mandukya, Aitareya and Taittiriya Upanishads, and incomplete translations of and commentaries on some other Upanishads and Vedantic texts. The second and third parts consist of material from Sri Aurobindo's manuscripts. The pieces in this part, along with his final translation of and commentary on the Isha Upanishad, are his most mature works of Upanishadic interpretation. The first consists of translations and commentaries that were published during Sri Aurobindo's lifetime. (His writings on that Upanishad appear in Isha Upanishad, volume 17 of THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SRI AUROBINDO.) It also includes his translations of later Vedantic texts and writings on the Upanishads and Vedanta philosophy in general. This volume comprises Sri Aurobindo's translations of and commentaries on Upanishads other than the Isha Upanishad.
