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

For the svayambhu linga and others, the height of the rudrabhaga should be determined
including the head portion. With the same units of the dimension of the rudra bhaga, the
dimension of the pedestal should be arrived at.

It is recommended that the width of the pedestal should be 2, 3, 4 or 5 times the
dimension of the diameter of the concerned linga.

Or, for all these lingas, the dimension of the pedestal could be determined from the
dimension of the diagonal of the concerned linga. Having divided the dimension of
the diagonal into 8 or 9 parts, the sthapati should take the dimension of the pedestal
to be less than or greater than 1, 2, 3 or 4 parts.
