'''{{IAST|Pariśiṣṭa}}''' ([[Devanagari]]: परिशिष्ट, "supplement, appendix") is the term applied to various ancillary works of [[Veda|Vedic]] literature dealing with details and elaborations not covered in the texts logically and chronologically prior to them: the [[Samhita]]s, [[Brahmana]]s, [[Aranyaka]]s and [[Kalpa (Vedanga)|Sutras]].

Parishista ([[Devanagari]]: परिशिष्ट, "supplement, appendix") is the term applied to various ancillary works of [[Veda|Vedic]] literature dealing with details and elaborations not covered in the texts logically and chronologically prior to them: the [[Samhita]]s, [[Brahmana]]s, [[Aranyaka]]s and [[Kalpa (Vedanga)|Sutras]].

Parisista works exist for each of the four Vedas.  However, only the literature associated with the [[Atharvaveda]] is extensive.

The '''{{IAST|Kātiya Pariśiṣṭas}}''', ascribed to [[Katyayana|{{IAST|Kātyāyana}}]], consist of 18 works enumerated self-referentially in the fifth of the series (the [[Shakha|{{IAST|Caraṇavyūha}}]]):<ref>(II.4): Kashikar 1994, p.6; Modak 1993, p.190</ref> Six other works of parisista character are also traditionally ascribed to {{IAST |Kātyāyana}}, including a work of identical name ({{IAST|Pratijña}}) but different contents. How many of these 24 are actually due to {{IAST|Kātyāyana}} is dubious; in all probability, they were composed by different authors at different times, with the {{IAST|Pratijña}} and the {{IAST|Caraṇavyūha}} being among the latest as they mention the others.<ref>Kashikar 1994, p.8; Chakrabarti(2004), pp.92-94</ref>
