Description: There are admittedly several possibilities of constructing, understanding and translating neti neti. Post-Verdic exegeses have a significant part in modern standard translations of neti neti in the Brhadaranyaka Upanisad. The late-medieval Indian narrative of a paramount importance of Sankara for the undersanding of the Upanisads, and the latter's construction of one ?philosophy? underlying them, is widely taken at its face value still today.
