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

The water should be mixed up with ela, usira and three spicy fruits; with karpura, kumkuma, srikhanda(candana),
agaru, leaves, flowers, perfumes and others. Such water with spiceness and pleasant aroma has been well
recommended for the ablution for Lord Sambhu. Or, whichever materials are available among those groups of
substances mentioned here, they should be collected by those who are not with sufficient wealth.

For the purpose of bathing the Linga, the Guru should well prepare the water to be with spices and perfumes,
such water being efficacious enough to end the cyclic phenomena of repeated birth and death. In the case of
the Linga installed afresh, the measure of ablution-water should be from one ‘bhara’ to nine ‘bharas’, for the
most inferior type of ablution. Nine different kinds of measure are available, by increasing from one bhara
to nine bharas, the increment being one bhara each time. Or, eight dronas, sixteen dronas or twenty-four dronas
of water may be used for the Svayambhulinga, Banalinga and others, as desired by the Guru. These are the
possible measures of water for the ablution. For the personal worship of the Linga, the measure of ablution-
water may be as desired by the sadhaka.

The mixture of five kinds of nectarine fruits (pancamruta), mixture of five substances got from the cow
(pancagavya), water with kusa-grass, kalasa-water – all of these should be prepared so as to be with the
corresponding measures told earlier.
