the mode of yava-angula, the height may be decreased or increased by one and a half yava to
8 yavas, according to the desired plan of the sponsor. The bull should be designed so as to
be adorned with many kinds of ornaments and cluster of bells. The quality-number(jatyamsa)

factors should be examined to ascertain the auspiciousness of the image of the bull. Thus,
the characteristic lineaments of the bull have been told. Now listen to the process of installation
