The Upanishads are the concluding segments, available at the end of the Vedas, hence they are referred to as the ''Vedanta''. The word ''Vedanta'' is a compound word made up of two Sanskrit words: ‘''Veda’'' and  ‘''Anta’''. The word ‘''anta’'' means an end. ''The Vedanta'' essentially refers to the philosophy pronounced in the Upanishads, the final parts of the Vedas. ''Vedanta'' broadly covers the philosophy enunciated by the holy Scriptural Trinity – the Upanishads, the ''Brahma''-''Sutra'' and the ''Bhagavad'' ''Gita.''<ref name=":122" />

The Upanishads are the foundation of Hindu philosophical thought and its diverse traditions.
