Brahma Sutra

by Bhadarayana
He begins his great book Brahman Sutra with this
sentence: "Now the inquiry into the ultimate." That's
how all the sutra in the East begin, always with "now
...
athato," never otherwise.

Badarayana, the reputed author, is also
identified with
Vyasa (the author of the
Mahabharata) though others think these are two
separate men.
Brahma Sutra is a collection of 555 aphorisms in
4 chapters.  It's date is unknown, guesses going
from about 200 BCE to 400 CE, nearly 6
centuries later.
Written originally in Sanskrit, and translated into
English by S. Radhakrishna (with a lot of
commentary and notes) in 1960.
Verse 1 of the Brahma Sutra:

Athato brahma-jijnasa.

Now, therefore, the desire to know
Brahman.
