==== यजुर्वेदीयकल्पसूत्राणि ॥ Kalpa Sutras ====
Kalpa sutras are texts that enumerate the procedures involved in Vedic rituals in their designated order. They are of four types viz. Shrauta sutras (dealing with elaborate Yajnas), Grhya sutras (dealing with smaller Yagas and Samskaras), Dharma sutras (dealing with Varnashrama dharmas), Shulbasutras (dealing with construction of Yajna Vedis).
Shukla Yajurvedic Kalpa sutras:
There is only one Shrautasutra belonging to the Shukla Yajurveda viz. Katyayana Shrautasutra. Consisting of 26 adhyayas, it elaborates on the Yajnas described in the Shatapatha brahmana. Karkacharya's bhashya on this text is considered important.
The only Grhayasutra belonging to the Shukla Yajurveda is known as Paraskara Grhyasutra. Consisting of 3 Kandas, it describes the Samskaras in detail and is endowed with 5 commentaries by Karka, Jayarama, Harihara, Gadadhara and Vishvanatha.
The Katyayana Shraddha Sutra, also known as Katiya Shraddha Sutra, elaborates on shraddha and consists of 9 Kandikas. It is commented upon by Karkacharya, Gadadhara and Krishna Mishra. A commentary of Halayudha is mentioned in the beginning of shraddha Kashika by Krishna Mishra.
The Shulbasutras of Katyayana consist of 7 Kandikas and discusses about construction of Yajna Vedis, quadrilateral area, etc. reflecting Vedic geometry.
Krishna Yajurvedic Kalpa Sutras:
The Taittiriya Shakha has 5 Shrauta sutras viz. Baudhayana, Apastamba, Hiranyakeshi or Satyashadha, Vaikhanasa and Bharadvaja Shrauta sutra while the Maitrayani shakha has the Manava Shrauta sutra. Of these, the Baudhayana and Manava shrauta sutra are older as they are mentioned in the Apastamba shrauta sutra.
Infact the Baudhyana and Apastanba traditions have all the 4 types of Kalpa sutras viz. Shrauta, Grhya, Dharma and Shulba. They are so interconnected that it seems like they are 4 parts of the same text.
