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 4 (1897) translated by Eggeling, is volume XLIII of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in five parts and focuses on Hinduism. Part 4 contains The Text of the Madhyandina School, which addresses the sacred fire altar, giving the reader deep knowledge of the Brahmanic tradition.
