Kalpa ("suitable," "appropriate") - One of the six Vedangas, which are auxiliary fields of knowledge linked to the Vedas, the ancient Hindu sacred books.
The Kalpa section contains regulations for executing
ceremonial and sacrificial deeds, as well as ceremonies associated with Vedic
rituals.
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar), chandas (Sanskrit prosody), nirukta (etymology), shiksha (proper pronunciation), and jyotisha are the other Vedangas (auspicious times for sacrifices).
