Except the three types of angula measurements, hasta-based and yava-based measurements,
all other measurements may be taken as they are with reference to the linga and others. Or,
the total height of the reference object may be divided into 16 equal parts and the height of the
proposed icon should be taken as 3 parts and increasing by one part each time the maximum
height should be held to be of 11 parts. Or, the height may be ascertained by decreasing the
height of 16 parts by one part successively.

O, the excellent twice-born Sages!, the term linga denotes always the worshipful part(rudra
bhaga) of the Sivalinga. Starting from three angulas and increasing by two units each time,
the maximum height is held to be 325 units(matras), in he case of angula-based. Starting
from 7 yavas and increasing by 2 yavas each time, the maximum height in the yava-based
measurement is held to be 1000 yavas.
