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

While installing a benign form in front of the fierce form, care should be taken
with regard to the charming look of that benign form. The eyes of that benign
form should be rendered gracious and beautiful. Such grace-yielding look of the
benign form is productive of abounding wealth and prosperity. Generally it is
held that the elegant look of the divine forms is efficacious in bestowing all the
comforts of this world and of the heavens.

In the shrine of the fierce form, the corresponding benign form may be installed at a
distance of one by sixteenth , one fourth , half or three fourth of a rod from the fierce
form. Alternatively, it may be installed at a distance of one rod to fifteen rods from the
fierce form. Thus the process of installation of fierce form and its benefits
have been explained.

Now the benefits of installing the benign forms is explained. S'ivalin'ga installed
in the central space (brahma stha'na) will bestow virtuousness and fortunes upon the
brahmins and ks"atriyas( administrating community).
