Wikipedia says the following 13 Upanishads are the Mukhya Upanishads:

  • Isha Upanishad
  • Kena Upanishad
  • Kaṭha Upanishad
  • Praṣna Upanishad
  • Muṇḍaka Upanishad
  • Māṇḍūkya Upanishad
  • Taittirīya Upanishad
  • Aitareya Upanishad
  • Chāndogya Upanishad
  • Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upanishad
  • Shvetashvatara Upanishad
  • Kaushitaki Upanishad
  • Maitri Upanishad

My question is, how many verses are there in all the Mukhya Upanishads in total?

    All of them are available to read at Sanskritdocuments. So, one can visit each and then count no. of verse and then add/sum all.

    This is basically a counting problem or something else is there in it?

    Is there any special reason for asking number of verses in all Mukhya Upanishads?
