In ancient literature, there
used to be reference to only three Vedas - Rigveda, Yajurveda and Samaveda.
Even Manu has often referred to only these three Vedas. The fourth one,
Atharva Veda, according to some scholars was a later addition.The Upanishads
represent the final stage of the tradition of the Vedas. Their teachings
form the basis for much of the later Hindu philosophy. Most of the stories
of the Upanishads revolve around the concept of a single supreme being.
The Upanishads are the basis of the shad-darshanas, the six major systems
of Hindu philosophy.
