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

The fire which is furnished with three enclosing bunches of darbha-grass(paridhi) and which is associated with
faggots placed on the upper girdle is said to be the Vedic-fire. The fire which is associated with the specific
features of both the Vedic and Agamic-fire is said to be the Mixed. In this Agama it is maintained that the
fire furnished with four enclosing bunches of darbha-grass is to be known as the Agamic-fire(Saivagni). The
fire furnished with sacrificial vessel known as ‘pranita’ and knotted bunch of darbha-grass known as ‘brahma
kurca’ goes by the name Vedic-fire. The pranita and the brahma kurca are to be placed for the Mixed-fire
also. For the Agamic-fire, the pranita and the brahma kurca may or may not be provided. O, the twice-born
Sages!, now listen to the essential lineaments of the Vedic-fire and the Mixed-fire.
