Apastamba biography To write a biography of Apastamba is essentially impossible since nothing is known of him except that he was the author of a Sulbasutra which is certainly later than the Sulbasutra of Baudhayana. We do not know Apastamba's dates accurately enough to even guess at a life span for him, which is why we have given the same approximate birth year as death year. Apastamba was neither a mathematician in the sense that we would understand it today, nor a scribe who simply copied manuscripts like Ahmes. www.gap-system.org /%7Ehistory/Biographies/Apastamba.html   (399 words)

Apastamba Grhyasutra Reprint of first edition in 1896 Sudarasana Suri wrote a lucid commentary entitled 'Tatyparyadarshana' on the Apastamba Grhyasutras.
