Also called kausitaki brahmanopanisad, it Isa fairly long Upanisad and is entirely in prose.
The first chapter deals with 2 well known paths Devayana and pitryana. There is a fairly detailed description of not only the journey to the world of Brahma by the Arciradimarga or Devayana but also of the Brahmaloka itself.
The second chapter gives a detailed account of pranavidya, upasana of prana as Brahman. There is also rite recommended to be performed by anyone coveting ekadhana, interpreted as the highest wealth.
The third chapter contains a long discourse by Indra ( who has realised the Supreme Being and hence identified with him.) To the king Pratardana to meditate on him as Prana. Prana IA also identified with prajna consciousness.
The last chapter which is in the form of a dialogue between the King Ajatasatru and the learned Gargya Balaki is almost a repetition of Brhadaranyaka Upanisad.
