Scripture of a living faith: the library collects it and does not score it, and readers cannot rate it.

The closing part of the Vedas, a group of dialogues and teachings on the self, atman, and the ground of all things, brahman. The oldest are prose conversations between sages, kings, wives and students. They are the main source of Vedanta, quoted in the Bhagavad Gita and in later Hindu schools, and since the nineteenth century widely read in the West.
