मुख्यत्वादिह शैवस्य मुखमाहात्म्यतोऽपि च॥ १२२
अधिकारोऽस्ति सर्वत्र नान्येषां शिवदर्शने।

Because of the importance of the Saiva Agamas and because of their greatness of representing
the face of Siva`s form, the competency and authority always lies with the Adisaivas for the
systematic study of these Saiva Scriptures. There is no such authority for others in the study of
these Agamas. Therefore, the temple worship, personalised worship, installation, worship of
other Deities – all these should be done by the Adisaivas only. For others, only personalised
worship(atmartha puja) is recommended. Transgressing this rule, if parartha puja(temple
worship) also is performed by others, then, as the result of such violation, the ruler and
the country would perish within a short span of time. There is no doubt about this.
