Post-Vedic literature includes extensive volumes of literature which can be classified as the following Auxiliary and Subsidiary Texts of the Vedas. To clarify the Vedas and in understanding them, over a period of time, different explanatory shastras have evolved to explain the different concepts presented in Vedas. While some have developed independently (such as Jyotisha to explain muhurtas in vedic rituals) others summarise (such as Kalpa which is a manual of material from different vedas) and a few others are simplified (like the Puranas in story format) for common understanding (including the Mahabharata).
