This interpretation of Śilādhivāsana does not seem to be appropriate. The term may refer to some processes or ceremonies similar to those in connection with Śilā-saṁgraha or collecting and selecting stones for buildings. (Inscrip. from Nepal, no. 23, Inscrip. of Queen Lalita-tri-pura-sundarī, line 14, Ind. Ant. vol. ix. pp. 193, 194, c. 2).
