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

Under the context of specific ritual known as ‘tirtha ankura’ in view of grand festivals,
the Acharya, other officiating priests and devotees should go around the village in clockwise
direction. Holding the collected earth, palikas and other vessles, holding the trident and the
digging tool(kundali) and preceded by Candesvara who is well adorned with all kinds of
dresses and ornaments, the Acharya should proceed towards the recommended auspicious
place.

Circumambulating the village may or may not be done for the activities such as the collection
of sacred earth and others. The earth may be collected from the river bank, tank, forest, flower
garden, oblong lake, reservoir and such others according to the directions set forth in the Agamas.
After reaching the place selected for the collection of earth, the learned Acharya should sprinkle
the water consecrated with siva mantras over the ground.
