One of a collection of Hindu sacred
treatises, written in Sanskrit, connected
with the Vedas but composed later, about
800-200 BC. Metaphysical and ethical, their
doctrine equated the atman (self) with the
Brahman (supreme spirit) - `Tat tvam asi'
(`Thou art that' - and developed the theory
of the transmigration of souls.
