I sure hope you are no longer trying to convince people that Brahman is less real, less venerable or less truthful than Allah, @paarsurrey .

I do not particularly believe so, though.

Did I ever say that? I believe that it is the attributes that needs to be understood, names could be different with various people in their own languages. Attributes are generic.
Muhammad did not invent the name "Allah", the Meccans already believed in Him. Muhammad's father's name was "Abdullah" who died before birth of Muhammad. Abdullah means servant of Allah.
Allah revealed to Muhammad His fine attributes. One aspect of Quran is that it is an illustration of attributes of ONE-GOD.
And these are very reasonable and easily understandable. Please

First learn what the Vedas are.

Vedas - Wikipedia

There are four Vedas: the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda.[12][13] Each Veda has been subclassified into four major text types – the Samhitas (mantras and benedictions), the Aranyakas (text on rituals, ceremonies, sacrifices and symbolic-sacrifices), the Brahmanas (commentaries on rituals, ceremonies and sacrifices), and the Upanishads (texts discussing meditation, philosophy and spiritual knowledge).
Vedic Sanskrit corpus
The corpus of Vedic Sanskrit texts includes:

• The Samhitas (Sanskrit saṃhitā, "collection"), are collections of metric texts ("mantras"). There are four "Vedic" Samhitas: the Rig-Veda, Sama-Veda, Yajur-Veda, and Atharva-Veda, most of which are available in several recensions (śākhā). In some contexts, the term Veda is used to refer to these Samhitas. This is the oldest layer of Vedic texts, apart from the Rigvedic hymns, which were probably essentially complete by 1200 BC, dating to c. the 12th to 10th centuries BC. The complete corpus of Vedic mantras as collected in Bloomfield's Vedic Concordance (1907) consists of some 89,000 padas (metrical feet), of which 72,000 occur in the four Samhitas.[46]
• The Brahmanas are prose texts that comment and explain the solemn rituals as well as expound on their meaning and many connected themes. Each of the Brahmanas is associated with one of the Samhitas or its recensions.[47][48] The Brahmanas may either form separate texts or can be partly integrated into the text of the Samhitas. They may also include the Aranyakas and Upanishads.
• The Aranyakas, "wilderness texts" or "forest treaties", were composed by people who meditated in the woods as recluses and are the third part of the Vedas. The texts contain discussions and interpretations of ceremonies, from ritualisitic to symbolic meta-ritualistic points of view.[49] It is frequently read in secondary literature.
• Older Mukhya Upanishads (Bṛhadāraṇyaka, Chandogya, Kaṭha, Kena, Aitareya, and others).[50][51]

The Samhitas (the ones you read), the Brahmanas, the Aryanakas and the Upanisads together form the Vedas. Has always been that way. Thus Brihadaranyaka upanisad is in Yajurveda and Chandayoga upanisad is in Samaveda. Of course the upanisads discuss Brahman a lot. Watch the thread on the topic I have created in the Hinduism DIR.

I am currently discussing Brihadaranyaka Upanisad which is in Yajurveda. So it satisfies your idiosyncratic criteria.

If Upanisads are a part of Veda, then one could quote from the four Vedas for the attributes of Brahman. So please quote from the Veda directly in support of one's viewpoint. Please

The former mean immortal, imperishable, eternal, and the later impersonal, but please where these have been illustrated in the Veda? That is the focal point. Please

Nope, that description might be said to apply better to the latter. Although ultimately all description is inevitably false.

Study Advaita Vedanta. And anyway, why's that the point?

Please answer this question. Why does an Amadiyya Muslim care? Is he wishing to convert?

Absolute Brahman is beyond time, form, and space, so has no attributes.

I told you Brihadaranyaka Upanisad, 2.5.
Did you not understand anything I said?

The earliest and most ancient layer of Yajurveda samhita includes about 1,875 verses, that are distinct yet borrow and build upon the foundation of verses in Rigveda.[5][6] The middle layer includes the Satapatha Brahmana, one of the largest Brahmana texts in the Vedic collection.[7] The youngest layer of Yajurveda text includes the largest collection of primary Upanishads, influential to various schools of Hindu philosophy. These include the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the Isha Upanishad, the Taittiriya Upanishad, the Katha Upanishad, the Shvetashvatara Upanishad and the Maitri Upanishad.[8][9]

Yajurveda - Wikipedia

What you insist on calling the Yajurveda is simply the first "chants and psalms" section of the Yajurveda (called Yajurveda-Samhita) and that book is followed by the Satapatha Brahmana and the Upanisads all together forming the Yajurveda corpus of revealed scripture. Got it?

You can't even read correctly. Wizanda did not say Wikipedia, he said Google. Search Google or any other search engine.

You find it that way. Others may have different views. I find even the belief in existence of any God to be foolish.

First learn what the Vedas are.

At least I am sure that Paarsurrey does not have any desire to learn.

He only knows YajurVeda translation by Devi Chand. He does not understand about Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads. Not just Brihadaranyaka but Katha, Taittiriya, Shvetashvatara, Maitrayani and Ishavasya Upanishads are part of YajurVeda. As I said he is not here to learn. He is happy in his jahilliyat.

Just a side note, that has the same structure as Mantra Pushpam. I have to find this in Sanskrit to compare, Latin alphabet though.
