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

O, the foremost Sages!, for the performance of large-scale va'stu homa and
va'stu bali, there may be available many A'ca'rya-priests. But, it has been
distinctly ordained in the scriptures that the S'iva – vipras (A'di S'aivas) who
are born in the lineage affiliated to the five gocaras are highly competent to
undertake the ritual of va'stu bali.
अभावादादिशैवानां तत्र ब्राह्माशिवद्विजाः।
देवालये च ग्रामादौ शिवविप्रो विशिष्यते ।। ३६
स्वगृहे त्वनुशैवास्तु महावान्तर शैवकाः।
abha'va'da'dis'aiva'na'm tatra brahmas' s'ivadvija'h /
deva'laye ca gra'ma'dau s'ivavipro vis'is'yate // 36
svagr'hetvanus'aiva'stu maha'va'ntara s'aivaka'h /
If A'dis'aivas are not available there, then the bra'hman.as who have been duly
initiated into the worship of S'iva may assume the role of A'ca'rya. But
preferably in all cases such as the construction of temples, village planning and
so forth, A'dis'aivas are significantly entitled to be the A'ca'ryas. The Anus'aivas
could be A'ca'ryas in the rituals of their own houses. Similarly,the Maha's'aivas
and A'ntaras'aivas could be A'ca'ryas in respect of the rituals of their own houses.
