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

The va’stu homa may be performed in all the four directions of the selected
ground by the A’ca’rya being associated with the assisting priests (mu’rtipas).
Or, it may be done in only one place by the learned A’ca’rya with necessary
paraphernalia such as the faggots, ghee, boiled rice for sacrificial purpose,
sesame and rice grains.
