The purification of Linga, which comes next in the course of five purifications is now told with all
the essential details. Linga is said to be of three kinds – the fully formed, formless and the formed-and-
formless. There are self-manifested linga, linga worshipped by gods, linga worshipped by the sages,
linga worshipped by the humans and many other kinds. There are immovable linga, moveable linga,
three kinds of mandalas, picture depicted in a cloth, picture depicted in the walls, pedestal consecrated
with mantras, kindled fire, enclosed water, actual form of the Guru, sacred tree and such others or
the vidya-pitha(seat meant for keeping the Scriptures for worship) to be considered for the worship of
Siva. And there are self-manifested stone associated with specific marks, gem, other material designed
in the form of linga according to the directions given in the treatise dealing with linga, loose sand
available near river-banks, ball of cooked rice, fruit and such others. All these are suitable for the
worship of Siva. Any one of these varities may be taken by the sadhaka as suitable to him and
consecrated.
