The Śatapatha Brāhmana is analyzed and considerable new information regarding astronomy during the Vedic era is obtained. It is shown that the Vedic altars served to represent various astronomical facts. This basis is described in a cryptic form in the 10th chapter of the book entitled Agnirahasya. A significant new insight is the existence of a 95 year cycle of intercalation. It is also found that calendrical reckoning was done in 2700 year cycles of the Saptarsi era.
