Having systematically worshipped the mula-linga with sandal, flowers and other
paraphernalia and with the ball of cooked rice consecrated through fire-ritual(havis),
the Acharya should invite the Chief Person(karta) to be in front of the main shrine.
The Karta who is well-informed of the significance of all these rituals should
prostrate before Lord Siva, the God of gods, and proclaim humbly: “Within from one
year to twelve years, I will set right all the defects which have occurred and make the
image look afresh and re-install it as before in the same place”. In this way he should
respectfully entreat the Lord along with the Acharya. Then the Acharya should raise
the Lord from the linga and invoke Him to have His vibrant presence in the kumbha.
पीठाद्देवीं समावाह्य वर्धन्या मध्यमे न्यसेत् ।
तदग्रे स्थण्डिलं कृत्वा प्राग्वदग्निमुखं नयेत् ।। ९०

Then he should raise the Sakti from the pedestal and invoke Her to have Her vibrant
presence in the vardhani kalasa. Having designed a slightly raised altar(sthandila)
in front of the kumbha and vardhani, he should make the preliminary arrangements
for the fire ritual as done before.
