कामिक आगम: पूर्व भाग (अष्टाविंशति मूल शैव आगमों का प्रथम एवं सर्वोच्च आगम महाकोश)

Holding the water-pot in his left hand, the Guru should remove the flower placed earlier on the top of the
Linga with the recital of astra mantra and keep his hands washed well. He should stream down the kalasa
water through the hand held in the conch-mudra and perform the ceremonial bath. While pouring the
water on the top of the Linga, water drops should not spill out. He should not move around his hand above
the top of the Linga and should not display the mudras below the level of Linga portion. He should not
let the kalasa-water spill around and should not let the materials kept there for the ablution become wetted
by the spilling water.

With the accompaniment of repeating loud sounds which proclaim the victory of the Lord(jaya sabda),
the Guru should lift up the Sivakumbha and Saktikumbha(vardhani) and take them inside the shrine and
place them upon the yantrika(specially designed pedestal). Having offered padya, acamana and arghya
to the Lord and the Sakti present in the consecrated water kept in the kalasas, he should offer the sandal,
flowers, incense, light and arghya to them and after that he should remove the flowers and other materials
from the kalasas with the right hand. Keeping his mind firmly on the relevant tattvas, the Guru should
collect the bunch of durva-grass(kurca), flowers and water, reciting the Sivamantra. Doing so, he should
identify the mula mantra with the top of the Linga. Then he should bring out the presence of Sivasakti
on the left side of the Linga.
