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

Worshipping with a motive to attain the desired fruit is admissible in the case of the Linga recieved by the
sadhaka from the Guru. This has been made known earlier. Motivated worship is admissible in the case of
portable Linga. But, such motivated worship is not admissible in the case of sthandila, under all
circumstances. But it is ordained that the worship should be done for all types of Lingas, without
any motivation, without desiring for any fruit.

He should worship Candesvara in the morth-east with sandal, flowers and other substances. It is maintained
that all the remains of the offerings made to Lord Siva should be dedicated to Candesvara. Some say that
Candesvara is present on the top of the Linga; others are of the view that he is present in the pedestal.
Candesvara may be considered to be in the north-east side of the pedestal or to be present in the shrine
specifically provided for him , outside the main shrine. It is said that Candesvara is the manifested
form of a part of Siva`s anger.

The eatables, sandal, flowers and such other materials, various objects kept there for the worship of
Siva, garlands – all these which are enjoyed by the Lord are called ‘nirmalya’(free from impurities).
The particles which are in the sthandila-linga and those which are the remins of the things enjoyed
by Siva are strictly for the enjoyment of Candesvara; they are unapproachable to the devotees and the
common people. So, by all means, they should be kept apart, avoiding the intention to make use of them.
