“The Śulva-sūtras begin with general rules for measuring. In the next place they describe how to fix the right places for the sacred fires, and how to measure out the Vedis of the different sacrifices, the Samiki-vedi, the Paitriki-vedi, and so on. The remainder of the Sūtras contains the detailed description of the construction of the ‘Agni,’ the large altar built of bricks, which was required at the great Soma sacrifices.”
