Nos. 1 and 2 are Shaiva upanishads. During my last visit to India
I saw a book titled "Saiva Upanishads", published by Adyar Library,
Madras. These upanishads will be found in that volume.
I have the texts of these upanishads but the script is in Kannada and
not Devanagari.
I have another collection of minor and sectarian upanishads, tucked away
in a box that I have not opened for many months. I will look for these
upanishads and let you know.
No. 3 is a Shakta upanishad and you will find it in a volume titled
"Sakta upanishads", published again by Adyar Library, Madras.
I have seen this volume in the IU library, so you may be able to get
it through interlibrary loan. The title listed in the online
catalog is:
Astottarasatopanisatsu sakta upanisadah Sri
upanisadbrahmayogiviracitavyakhyayutah
By the way, I have checked out the volume on Vaisnava upanisads from
the same library, so please do not recall it!!!
I did not find the Saiva upanishad book in the IU catalog.
I have no clue about No. 4. Never heard about it.
If you want to buy these books the most likely place to find them
is Vedanta Catalog, CA (1-800-816-2242).
