It is apparent that the Śvetāśvatara Upanishad, unlike most of the major Upanishads, contains a strong theistic strain. Names like Hara (I. 10.), Rudra (III. 2, 4; IV. 12, 21, 22.), Śiva (III. 11; IV. 14.), Bhagavān (III. 11.), Agni, Āditya, Vāyu (IV. 2.), etc., which appear in the Śvetāśvatara Upanishad, are generally used as epithets of the Personal God.
