Next comes the Vedic limb called Nirukta. This science explains the etymology of thewords contained in Vedic mantras as they have agood deal to do with their practicalapplication. It is said that Nirukta is the sine qua non for understanding theVedas.Vedic words are explained by dividing thein into 4 classes: Nama, Akyhata, Nipata andUpasarga.

Next comes Chandas Sastra, the science that deals with the prosody of Vedic Mantras.Next comes the Jyotisha. The need for it arose by reason of the fact that the VedicKarmas had to be performed at certain periods and

seasons of the year like the new andfull moon days etc.

Jyotisha is used for both the sciences of astronomy and astrology.Next comes the Kalpa. The need for this arose because the followers of the differentShakahas or branches of the Vedas had to performVedic rites in a slightly differentmanner.According to Bhaskaracharya, Vyakarana or Sabda is the face, Jyotisha is eyes, Niruktathe ears, Siksha the nose, Kalpa the hands, and Chandas as the feet of Veda Purusha.There is another kind of text relating to the Vedas called Anukramanika or Indices. Thisprovides a list of Deities, Metres etc, of the different parts of Vedas. There are, again,some Vedic Koshas or lexicons otherthen Nirukta, which are very useful in theinterpretation of Vedic mantras. Thus, we have a comprehensive set of literature on theVedic methodology.

Four planets are said to preside over the Vedas: Guru or Jupiter over the Rig Veda; Sukraor Venus over the Yajur Veda; Mangal or Mars over Sama-Veda and Budha or Mercuryover Atharva-Veda.PURANAS

First among the supplementary angas comes the Puranas. The essential character of Puranas has been defined that they should contain5 essential features viz., Sarga,Pratisarga, Vamsa, Manvantara and Vamsanucharitra.Puranas are 18 in number viz., Brahma (10,000 verses), Padma (55,000),Vishnu(23,000), Shiva (24,000), Bhagawata (18,000), Linga (11,000), Varaha (24,000),Naradiya (25,000), Markandeya (9,000), Agni (15,400),Bhavishya (14,500),Brahmavaivarta (18,000), Skanda (81,100), Vamana (10,000), Kurma (17,000), Mathsaya(14,000), Garuda (19,000), and Brahmanda(12,000).Sage Badarayana or Vyasa as he is otherwise called, is credited with the authorship ofthese Puranas.
