v7.c47.3505

‘The neck (of the pedestal of an idol or phallus) is made of three parts and the band of the neck of one part. The abhyāsa (?) is one part, the upper band is also one part, and the remaining part is paṭṭikā (fillet or band). Its projection should extend as far as the last paṭṭikā.’—(*Matsya-Purāṇa*, Chap. cclxii, vv. 3, 4.)
