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

This is for the smaller type of linga, In the medium linga, the joining should be at 5, 4,
3 and 2 parts in the lower portion of the back side. In the superior lings, the joining
should be at 6, 5, 4 and 3 parts in the lower portion of the back side. The thickness of the
central line should be according to the height of the line. The thickness of the side lines
should be determined as explained earlier.

If the rudra bhaga is divided into 16 parts, the length of the central line should be 10
parts. 4 parts are to be left our in the top portion and 2 parts are to be left out in
the lower portion of the back side(to join the sloping lines). At the top of the central
line a design in the form of bud should be carved. Starting from the bud, the central line
should be associated with two side lines. Or, the length of the central line could be
taken from the third part of the rudra bhaga(divided into 16 parts). Other lines are
to be carved with suitable depth and thickness as said before. In this way, the brhma
surta and the parsva sutras(side lines) should be carved in the dravida linga.
