Discussion
Which one of the following is not contained in the Upanishads ?
Answer: A
Avataravada, the doctrine of divine incarnation, is not contained in the Upanishads. It developed later, in the epics and Puranas, with the rise of Vaishnavism.
Atman (the self), Brahman (the ultimate reality) and Maya (illusion or appearance) are central ideas of the Upanishadic philosophy, so they are contained in the texts.
This is a factual recall item, so the keyed option is identified by matching the person, text, date or term in the stem, and each remaining option fails that match for the reason given above.
