A part of the अथर्ववेद . The great hermit मुञ्जकेश had divided the अथर्ववेद into five parts called नक्षत्रकल्प , वेदकल्प , संहिताकल्प , आङ्गिरसकल्प and शान्ति कल्प . नक्षत्र कल्प deals with the order of worshipping the नक्षत्रस् (stars), वेद कल्प deals with the activities of ब्रह्मा as a ऋत्विक् (family priest), the संहिता कल्प , the mantras (spells and incantations). In आङ्गिरस कल्प sorcery and enchantment and in शान्तिकल्प , शान्तिस् (Alleviation or cure) of horse, elephant etc. are given. (Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Aṃśa 3, Chapter 6) .
