Of the nine parts of the height of the linga, 2 parts are for the square brahma bhaga, 3 parts
are for the eight sided vishnu bhaga and 4 parts are for the cylindrical rudra bhaga. This
kind of Svastika linga is particularly recommended for the agricultural people(sudras).

Sivalinga whose linga-shaft is square from top to bottm is known as Eka Dhara Linga.
Keeping the brahma bhaga in the form of square and the vishniu bhaga as eight sided, the
facets of the rudra bhaga may be increased from 8 to 100 facets. Such lingas are known as
Dhara lingas. Now the features of Sahasra linga are told.
