Shulbasutras (Samskrit: शुल्बसूत्राणि) are manuals for the construction of yajnas. They are sections of the Kalpasutras, associated in particular with the Shrautasutras. Each Shrautasutra seemed to have their own Shulbasutra section based on literary data; however, in the present days, only seven of these sutra works, Baudhayana, Apastamba, Katyayana, Manava, Maitayana, Varaha and Vadhula are available.

It gives us an insight about how our ancients developed units of measurement long before other civilizations mentioned it. However, it should also be remembered that the Shulbasutras of different Sutrakaras have slight variations thus we see versions of the above angula measures. It cannot be more emphasized that later day developments in such areas of ganita are founded on these ancient works.
