¹ There are innumerable references in the *Ṛg-veda* to the sacrifice-altars and their constructions. For the mention of the *vedi*, see for instance *ṚV*, i. 164. 35; i. 170. 4; v. 31. 12; vii. 35. 7, etc.; and for its construction compare the passages: "O Lovely (Agni)! They construct the *vedi* for you and offer oblations there" (*ṚV*, viii. 19. 18); "measured out the vedi" (*ṚV*, x. 61. 2), etc.
