Upnishads



The upanishads are describing or explanatory or explanation or expositions of doctrine, found in the parts of the four vedas. The Upanishads are not to be seen as uniform books - each text is connected to the veda in which it occurs, and teaching in upnishads is often presented in the context of a particular vedic hymn or ritual. In the vedanta traditions, the Upanishads are referred as Shurity prasthana or revealed scripture, from which knowledge of Brahman or  is obtained.
