The great hermit muñjakeśa had divided the Atharvaveda into five parts called nakṣatrakalpa,  vedakalpa,  saṁhitākalpa,  āṅgirasakalpa and śānti kalpa.

In Āṅgirasa kalpa sorcery and enchantment and in śāntikalpa,  Śāntis (Alleviation or cure) of horse,  elephant etc. are given. (viṣṇu purāṇa,  aṁśa 3,  Chapter 6).
