sulba sutras the manava sulbasutra is not the oldest the one by baudhayana is older nor is it one of the most important there being at least three sulbasutras which are considered more important historians place his lifetime at around 750 bc manava would have not have been a mathematician in the sense that we would understand it today nor was he a scribe who simply copied manuscripts like ahmes he would certainly have been a man of very considerable learning but probably not interested in mathematics for its own sake merely interested in using it for religious purposes undoubtedly he wrote the sulbasutra to provide rules for religious rites and it would appear almost a certainty that manava himself would be a hindu priest the mathematics given in the sulbasutras is there to enable accurate construction of altars needed for sacrifices it is clear from the writing that manava as well as being a priest must have been a skilled craftsman manava s sulbasutra like all the sulbasutras contained approximate constructions of circles from rectangles and squares from circles which can be thought of as giving approximate values of π there appear therefore different values of π throughout the sulbasutra essentially every construction involving circles leads to a different such approximation the paper of r c gupta is concerned with an interpretation of verses 11 14 and 11 15 of manava s work which give π 25 8 3 125 1 2 references edit gupta r c july 1988 new indian values of π from the mānava súlba sūtra centaurus 31 2 114 125 bibcode 1988cent 31 114g doi 10 1111 j 1600
