	Katyayana biography
		We cannot attempt to write a biography of Katyayana since essentially nothing is known of him except that he was the author of a Sulbasutra which is much later than the Sulbasutras of Baudhayana and Apastamba.
		Katyayana was neither a mathematician in the sense that we would understand it today, nor a scribe who simply copied manuscripts like Ahmes.
		Katyayana lived in a period when the religious rites that the Sulbasutras were written to support were becoming less influential.
