| '''Vedānta''' (devanāgarī: वेदान्त) is a [[Sanskrit]] term originally used in [[Hinduism|Hindu philosophy]] as a synonym for the texts known as the [[Upanishads (book)|Upanishads]], found in the last part of the [[Vedas (book)|Vedas]]. The meaning comes from Veda-anta = "Veda-end" meaning "the appendix to the Vedic hymns", although it is also speculated that it means "the purpose or goal [end] of the Vedas".
