The Kalpa Sutras are a collection of Hindu scriptures. ("Sacred Law Aphorisms") A crucial kind of smrti, or "remembered [literature]." Around the sixth century B.C.E., the Kalpa Sutras were first authored.
The sutras were compiled in order to provide a unified
religious and legal perspective.
The idea utilized to correlate these sutras, according to
academic opinion, placed an illusion of conceptual order on what was more likely
an organic growth of Hindu religious law.
All of the Kalpa Sutras are credited to well-known sages.
In principle, each Kalpa Sutra is divided into three
sections: prescriptions for Vedic rituals (Shrauta Sutras), prescriptions for
household rites (Grhya Sutras), and prescriptions for proper human conduct
(Kalpa Sutras) (Dharma Sutras).
Because just three sutras include all three elements and are
assigned to a single author, the true picture is significantly more
complicated.
The three surviving Kalpa Sutras are credited to the sages
Apastamba, Baudhayana, and Hiranyakeshin, and are all part of the Black Yajur
Veda school.
Many other collections have one or more of these components,
but not all three.
Each of the Kalpa Sutras is considered to be linked to one
of the four Vedas, the oldest Hindu sacred books.
However, it's possible that this claim was created to give the collection authorship.
