The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Satapatha Brahmana Part 5 (1900) translated by Eggeling, is volume XLIV of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in five parts and focuses on Hinduism. Part 5 contains the final books of the Madhyandina, a shaka recited predominantly in North India, and addresses the details of sacrificial ceremonies. This text is for readers interested in deepening their understanding of Hinduism.
