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

The lamp lighted with the ghee got from the tawny colored cow is said to be ‘sattvika’; lighted with the
sesame-oil mixed with the clarified butter got from the she-goat is considered to be ‘rajasa’. The flame
of the lamp may be with a height of one, two or three angulas corresponding to the inferior, medium and
superior types respectively. The lamp lighted with the clarified butter got from buffalo is considered
as ‘tamasa’. The lamp lighted with the oil got from seeds of trees is considered as ‘paisaca’. Tamasa and
paisaca lamps are considered to be unsuitable for the worship.

Many directions for the preparation of havis and for the nice preparation of naivedya are there to be

to be performed by male (tandava) along with the features of the dance to be performed by female(nrutta)
and with features of the songs set to music, in the chapter dealing with tandava. Different kinds of
tandava will also be made known there.
