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

The Acharya should worship the soma kumbha and the palikas daily and offer havis-food
after performing the fire ritual and continue to do so until the day fixed for the main function.
On the approach of the day ascertained for the main function, the Acharya, known well for
his perfect knowledge, should farewell the Moon Deity with due honors. At the end of the sowing
ritual, he should meticulously place the image of the Moon in a well-guarded and screened
place, after covering it carefully.

The sprouts which are white and soft-stemmed and which stand upright are considered to be
indicative of auspicious effects. The sprouts which are black, smoke-colored, pale yellow,
blue-black, which have grown across and which are short and bent are to be abandoned
in the auspicious activities. If the sprouts are seen with these features, then the Acharya should
perform the expiatory rituals to alleviate the inauspiciousness of the situation.
