The text discusses the Atman (Self) theory of Hinduism, and is referenced by both Dvaita (dualism) and Advaita (non-dualism) sub-schools of Vedanta. The name of the text derives from its incipit, īśā vāsyam, "enveloped by the Lord", or "hidden in the Lord (Self)". It is a key scripture of the Vedanta sub-schools, and an influential Śruti to diverse schools of Hinduism. The Upanishad is a brief poem, consisting of 17 or 18 verses, depending on the recension. It is a Mukhya (primary, principal) Upanishad, and is known in two recensions, called Kanva (VSK) and Madhyandina (VSM).
