Explanation

Among the Vedangas, Shiksha deals with phonetics, Kalpa with rituals, Chandas with metrics and Mimamsa with interpretation.

Shiksha governs the correct pronunciation and articulation of Vedic sounds.

Kalpa lays down the rules and procedures for performing rituals.

Chandas is the science of poetic metre used in the hymns.

Mimamsa provides the method of interpreting Vedic texts and injunctions.

These pairings reflect the classical division of the auxiliary disciplines of Vedic study.
