Mantrika Upanishad edit

(

)

A Yogasana by an ascetic

~~... that according to Mantrika Upanishad (pictured a Yogasana), "the Brahman dwells in body as soul, and this soul as God changes dwelling thousands of time"?~~

ALT1:... that the Mantrika Upanishad, opens with a metaphor for soul, as an eight-footed Hamsa swan (pictured) fettered with three strands (Guṇas, innate qualities)?

New enough and long enough, but surely there must be something more interesting to say than simply repeating a line from it? Also awaiting QPQ. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 20:55, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

*ALT2: ... that the Hindu text Mantrika Upanishad, is one of the earliest Yoga (pictured a Yogasana) Upanishads composed in 1st millennium BCE?

*ALT3: ... that the ancient Hindu text Mantrika Upanishad states that God (Brahman) is in all living beings, including the world of plants, to be seen with eyes of knowledge? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 13:28, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

ALT3 has the same problems as the first two hooks, so it has to be ALT2. But there, I'm not seeing the statement that it's "one of the earliest Yoga Upanishads" anywhere in the article. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 14:04, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Added source. The 1st millennium BCE part is in the main article. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 19:03, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Good to go in that case, though I'm not sure the caption of a picture is the best place for that fact. Would recommend that the prep builder not use either picture, as they are only slightly relevant to the hook, at best. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 19:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
