Which Hindu Texts Only Have An Avatar Speaking?

Really liked the Bhagavad Gita as it is direct, and focused; which other Hindu texts are as succinct, as they're a record spoken by a Divine being? :innocent:

Mukhya Upanishads - Wikipedia

Dr.Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, the second President of India and a renowned scholar, translated 18 Upanishads in his book. Fortunately, the book is available at archive.org. I have not read some of these Upanishads which I will proceed to do now.

Edit: Sorry, Wizanda, I realized that this is not what you had asked for.

Just a sample:

"Then, who, verily is the Brahmana? He who, after directly perceiving, like the amalaka fruit in the palm of one's hand, the Self, without a second, devoid of distinctions of birth, attribute and action, devoid of all faults such as the six infirmities, and the six states, of the form of truth, wisdom, bliss and eternity, that is by itself, devoid of determinations, the basis of endless determinations, who functions as the indwelling spirit of all beings, who pervades the interior and the exterior of all like ether, of the nature of bliss, indivisible, immeasurable, realizable only through one's experience and who manifests himself directly (as one's self), and through the fulfillment of his nature, becomes rid of the faults of desire, attachment, and endowed with the quallties of tranquillity, etc., and of the states of being, spite, greed, expectation, bewilderment, etc., with his mind unaffected by ostentation, self-sense and the like, he lives. He alone who is possessed of these qualities is the Brahmana. This is the view of the Vedic texts and tradition, ancient lore and history. The accomplishment of the state of the Brahmana is otherwise impossible. Meditate on Brahman, the Self who is being, consciousness and bliss, without a second, meditate on Brahman, the Self who is being, consciousness and bliss without a second This is the Upanishad."

There is no dearth of dialogs between deities and sages in all puranas, though they are not in a separate book form.
