v1.c7.362
“The altar could be constructed in different shapes, the earliest enumeration of which is found in the Taittirīya-saṁhitā (v. 4-11). Following this enumeration Baudhāyana and Āpastamba furnish us with full particulars about the shape of all these different ‘chitis’ and the bricks which were employed for their construction.”
