A few other altar-shapes are described in other Brāhmaṇas, where also are prescribed the rituals to be performed at these altars. The Śrautasūtras belonging to the Yajurveda often include as appendices treatises that give rules concerning the geometry involved in the construction of these altars. These treatises are known as the Śulbasūtras.⁵
