ātma-purāṇam

Previously, we looked at the contents of svāmi-vidyāraṇya’s anubhūti-prakāśa. His guru, svāmi śaṅkarānanda has also commented on many upaniṣads. His works include the ātma-purānam (also known as the upaniśad-ratnam). This has been recently published in 4 volumes by the dakṣiṇāmūrti maṭha in kāśi (along with the satprasava vyākhyā and hindi translation), and is currently in-print. The first few verses (1-30) of the last (18th) chapter provide a summary of it’s contents. This covers all of the major upaniṣads except for the māṇḍūkya upaniṣad.
