Kalpa-sūtra (English spelling)

Kalpa-sūtra (English spelling)
It is an outline of the religious rites of the Brahmans in ancient India, and is translated as "ritual sutra." After the establishment of the Vedic scriptures, six supplementary texts called the Vedāṅga were created as a guide for understanding and practicing them. The Kalpa sutra, which contains all the rules necessary for performing the rituals prescribed in the Vedic scriptures, is one of these, and is considered the most important of the six. It is divided into four sections: (1) Shrautā sutra (revelation sutra), (2) Grihya sutra (family sutra), (3) Shrubha sutra (altar sutra), and (4) Dharma sutra (vindictive sutra).
