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

4, 3 and 2 parts should be left out in the lower portion. O, the great Sages!, the interspace
between the two sloping lines should be in 3 parts, 1 part or 2 parts of the brhma sutra.
The top point of the line should be half of these measures. The carving of the lines should
be with a depth of 1 barley(yava)grain. Thickness of the lines also should be with the
same measure of 1 yava. The depth and thickness may be 8 yavas for the superior type
of linga. This measure should be gradually reduced for the medium and smaller lingas.
O, the foremost among the twice-borns!, the directions for drawing the characteristic lines
for the nagara linga have been told in this way.

In the dravida linga, the rudra bhaga should be divided into 15 parts and the central
line should start form the ninth part. If the rudra bhaga is divided into 11 parts, the
central line should start from the tenth part. The caharacteristic lines are to be carved
according to the smaller, medium and superior types. The side lines which are sloping
downwards should start form the seventh, eighth and ninth parts. The joining of the
side lines at the back should be at a point located at 3, 4 and 2 parts in the lower portion.
