Sāvitrī Upanishad

Who is Savitṛ, who is Sāvitrī? Pair after pair, one mithuna.

A first slice is open

Savitṛ, Sāvitrī and complementary divine principles.

The Sāvitrī Upanishad (Muktika 75, Sāmaveda) asks, pair after pair: who is Savitṛ, who is Sāvitrī? Agni and earth, Varuṇa and waters, mind and speech, man and woman — each pair is named one mithuna.

Sanskrit Documents also files this text among sāmānya Vedānta Upanishads. This Śākta circle includes it for the complementarity of Savitṛ and Sāvitrī, and keeps the Vedānta catalogue label visible. Nyāsa and bīja at the close of the printed recension are held. The Gāyatrī already opened in the Mantra Library is the public recitation of Savitṛ.

Muktika 75, Sāmaveda. Sanskrit Documents: sāmānya Vedānta Upanishad (savitri_u). Both labels are shown.

Fifteen numbered units in the Sanskrit Documents recension; this library opens the mithuna questions and holds the closing nyāsa.
