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

There he should arrange for the ploughing of the ground. He should perform all the rituals according to
the particular Agama of his choice. He should do all the concerned activities according to that particular
Agama of his choice, conforming to his unabated faith in the scripture and to the availability of the resources.
With regard to gaining access to the rough ground, certain specific examination is needed. Having dug a pit
with a depth of one hasta in the middle of the ground in an auspicious day, the Acharya should fill up the
pit with the water mixed with sandal paste. He should do this in the evening. Having spread darbha-grass
near the pit and having drunk the milk, he should sleep there on the darbha-bed during the night.

“O, Mother Earth, be prospering in this selected ground along with plenty of wealth and grains. Having
obtained the virility of the foremost kind, be ever with auspiciousness. My prostrations to you.” Having recited
this prayer, the Acharya should spend the night there, being on fast. In the next early morning he should
purify himself by taking bath and observing other disciplines and examine the pit. If he notices that the
water(mixed with sandal) poured into the pit remains in tact without reduced, then that ground may be
taken possession of for the attainment of all kinds of prosperity. If the water has become reduced in the pit,
then it indicates the gradual destruction of the construction. If the water has dried up completely, then it
indicates the decay of the food grains and the wealth.
