For the sarvadesika linga, such divisions and omissions are not prescribed. Likewise,
there is no restriction for designing its pedestal. But, directions for designing the
pedestal for nagara and other lingas have been set forth. For the dravida linga, abhadra
type of pedestal should be designed. For the nagara and vesra lingas, bhadra and
upabhadra type of pedestals should be designed. For the kalinga and varata lingas,
the pedestal may be designed in a common style. Now, some directions for the
installation of images in various locations of the buildings are told.

In the inner chamber, edifice, basement, main entrance, pillar, capital, dome and in
such other locations, images could be installed. Out of the 12 parts of the dome, 7 parts
should be the maximum height of the image. 4 parts should be the minimum height. The
difference between the maximum height and minimum height should be divided into
26 parts. Based on this, 27 kinds of height for the images are available.
