Summary/Abstract: Vajrascika-Upaniad is a more recent text, belonging to the line of the Sma-Veda.The text demolishes all the religious claims of any phenomenal condition, arguing that spiritual pre-eminence is reached only through the direct realization of the ultimate reality (Brahman) as own-identity (tman).
