Śulva-sūtra is the name given to those portions or supplements of the Kalpa-sūtras, which treat of the measurement and construction of the different vedis or altars, the word ‘sūtra’ referring to the cords which were employed for those measurements. But in the Sūtras themselves the word ‘rajju’ is used to express a chord and not the ‘sūtra’. A Śulva Adhyāya or Praśna or Śulva-pariśishṭa belongs to all Kalpa-sūtras.
