(1) Chaturdhā śikharaṁ bhajya ardha-bāga-dvayasya tu। Śuka-nāsaṁ prakurvīta tṛitīye vedikā matā॥ (Matsya-Purāṇa, chap. 269, v. 18).
(2) Śikharārthaṁ (?-dhaṁ) hi sūtrāṇi chatvāri vinipātayet। Śuka-nāśo(-sā)rddhataḥ sūtraṁ tiryyag-bhūtaṁ nipātayet॥ Śikharasyārdha-bhāgasthaṁ siṁhaṁ tatra tu kārayet। Śuka-nāsaṁ sthirīkṛitya madhya-sandhau nidhāpayet॥ Apare cha tathā pārśve tadvat sūtraṁ nidhāpayet। Tad-ūrddhvaṁ tu bhaved vedī sakaṇṭhā mānasārakam॥
