The Prasna
Upanishad belongs to the Atharva Veda and has six sections dealing with six
questions put to a sage by his disciples who were intent on knowing the nature of the
ultimate cause, the power of aum, the relation of the Supreme to the constituents
of the world. The Upanishad is so called as it deals with prasna or question.
