The Upanishads
The Upanishads literally mean "sittings near, laying siege to a Teacher" to acquire knowledge. They are part of the Shruti and primarily discuss early philosophy; they also contain accounts of various debates between contemporary priests and sages. There are more than 200 texts counted as Upanishads; however, only 13 are generally accepted as primary.
