## Abstract

The M\=anava \'Sulvas\=utra, while less sophisticated than the other \'sulvas\=utras, is seen to contain some mathematical ideas and constructions not found in the other \'sulvas\=utras. Here we discuss some of these constructions and discuss their significance in the overall context of the \'sulvas\=utra literature.
