A second class of records of this type comprises those which directly commemorate the performance of Vedic sacrifices with inscriptions on the bricks of the sacrificial altar itself, for instance, the Jagatpur inscriptions from the fourth *aśvamedha* of King Śīlavarman (*caturthasyāśvamedhasya caityo yaṃ śīlavarmaṇaḥ*; cf. 4.2.3.2); or on stone *yūpas* which reproduce the wooden ones actually used in the sacrifice (4.2.1.2).
