We know that Maharshi Krishna Dvaipayaan separated the Vedas into four parts. Each Veda is divided into four sections: Samhita, Brahmana, Aranyaka, and Upanishad. The Upanishad is the fourth and final portion of each Veda. Because the Upanishads constitute the last portion of the Vedas, they are often referred to as Vedanta. It is also regarded as "Brahma Vidya- the Ultimate Truth".
However, according to Vedic tradition, Aranyakas are Brahmins and Upanishads are Aranyakas. Because each Brahmana and Aranyaka is coupled with a Samhita, the Upanishads are finally counted as such.
