 * Hey ! There can be somethings changed in my 'History of Advaita Vedanta' edit I agree, I didn't mean to make it public. But it's generally agreed Brhadaranyaka & Chandogya have Advaitin leanings, in it's yajnavalkya & wives, Udalaka aruni, satyakama jabala, etc etc conversations. Mostly Isha, svetashvatara, Katha, etc have notable theism, dvaitin elements. I just wanted to note that in the history of advaita as an early reference of Advaita. It can be edited better to mention 'purusa-vada' or a 'proto-advaita' is mentioned in early Jain texts that argued against this proto-advaita, as it's noted Hajime Nakamura in his 'early history of vedanta' book, and so the mechanistic forms of advaita didn't form yet. But that can be reffered in the conversation of these early Upanishads & early advaita. 76.90.170.20 (talk) 23:05, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Oh sorry, it's just that Patrick Olivelle is considered the most recent philological & linguistic scholarship in general, and in many places some of the British era (when India was a colony) translators cut out words & severely minced the meanings to make it more accessable so to say. Some meanings are wholy different in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad where Max Mueller translates 'this comes first, then that' to 'this is that' and so on. I made some of those very reasonable changes. 76.90.170.20 (talk) 09:18, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
