O, the twice-born Sages!, if the height of the linga is divided into 16 equal parts, 4 parts
are for the bottom , 5 parts are for the middle portopn and 6 parts are for the upper portion.
The entire height consists of three parts known as brahma bhaga, vishnu bhaga and rudra
bhaga. (The remaining one part is for the moulding of the top). This kind of arrangement
of the parts is applicable to ‘Suredya linga’ and ‘Ana’dhya linga’. Apart from these, there
are ‘A’dhya linga’ and ‘Sarvasama linga’ adored as of having special features.

If the difference between the superior height and the lower height is divided into eight equal
parts, each mode of height gets differentiated into nine kinds. If the total height of the linga
is divided into 24 equal parts, the height of the brahma bhaga, vishnu bhaga and rudra bhaga
are 7, 8 and 9 respectively. The characteristics of such linga are common for all types of lingas.
