Replying to a digest... Some mailer may not show the thread correctly. Anyways, I thought J. A. B. Buitenen, _The Maitraaya.niiya Upani.sad, A Critical Essay, with Text, Translation, and Commentary_, Hague 1962 was the definite source on the Maitri/Maitreya/Maitraaya.na/Maitraaya.nii/Maitraaya.niiya Upani.sad :-) Should be avialable somewhere, I think. -- kengo
