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

It is recommended specifically that in the Siva temples, the bull-vehicle should be installed
above the entablature. Those vehicles which are installed above the entablature should be
installed around the temple at the ground level also. Specifically, they should be installed
in the innermost enclosure(antar man.d'ala) as associated with the corresponding pedestals.
Even in the temples of other Deities, the vehicles of the concerned Deities should be installed
above the entablature and on the ground level.

ईदृग्रूपसमायुक्तं महेशं वापि विन्यसेत्।
पूर्वोक्त विधिना वापि पादवर्गेऽथवा नयेत्।। ९

Similarly it is directed that even in the temple of the Goddess the concerned vehicle should be
installed. Then, the deities of the neck part are to be installed. In the Siva temple, the forms of
Mahes'vara such as the eka-pada-trimurti or such other combined forms should be installed.
Or, accoding to the directions set forth earlier, these forms may be installed in the component
parts of the pillar also.
