Line 142: − + − Parishishta (supplement, appendix) is the term applied to various ancillary works of Vedic literature, dealing mainly with details of ritual. They are elaborations of the texts logically and chronologically prior to them namely Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Sutras. Naturally, classified with the Veda to which each pertains, Parishishta works exist for each of the four Vedas. However, only the literature associated with the Atharvaveda is extensive. − − The Ashvalayana Grhya Parishishta is associated with the Rigveda. − − The Gobhila Grhya Parishishta is a short text consisting of two chapters, with 113 and 95 verses respectively. − − The Katiya Parishishtas, ascribed to Katyayana, consist of 18 works enumerated self-referentially in the fifth of the series (the Charanavyuha) and the Katyayana Shrauta Sutra Parishishta. − − The Krshna Yajurveda has 3 Parishishtas - The Apastamba Shrauta Parishishta, which is also found as the second prashna of the Satyasadha Shrauta Sutra', and the Varaha Shrauta Sutra Parishishta. − == पञ्चमवेदः || Panchamaveda == − <blockquote>भारतः पञ्चमो वेदः || bhārataḥ pañcamo vedaḥ || </blockquote>As given in Mahabharata itself, it states that Mahabharata which covers numerous topics related to human relationships is considered as the "Fifth Veda".<blockquote>पुराणं पञ्चमो वेद इति ब्रह्मानुशासनम् || (Skan.
