Vedopangas:
Each Veda has a subsidiary: ayurveda (knowledge of life) for Rgveda, dhanurveda (knowledge of tools and weapons) for Yajurveda, gandharvaveda (knowledge of arts) for Samaveda and sthapatyaveda (architecture) for Atharvaveda. In addition, Dharma Puranas nyayasastras, mimamsas and sastras (smrtis) are also considered upangas. Sthapatyaveda, the subsidiary Atharvaveda is the topic of this discussion. Because it is the subsidiary of Veda, its authority is clear and undisputed.
