(4) Sarveshāṁ eva liṅgānāṁ lakshaṇaṁ śṛiṇu sāmpratam॥
Madhya-sūtraṁ samāsādya brahma-rudrāntikā budhaḥ।
Shoḍaśāṅgula-liṅgasya shaḍ-bhāgair bhājito yathā॥
Tad vaiyamana-sūtrābhyāṁ mānaṁ antaram uchyate।
Yavāshṭaṁ uttare kāryyaṁ śeshāṇāṁ yava-hānitaḥ॥
Adho-bhāgaṁ tridhā kṛitvā tv-ardham ekaṁ parityajet।
Ashṭadhā tad-dvayaṁ kritvā ūrddha-bhāga-trayaṁ tyajet॥
Urddhvaṁ cha pañchamād bhāgād bhrāmya-rekhāṁ pralambayet।
Bhāgam ekaṁ parityajya saṁgamaṁ kārayet tayoḥ॥
Etaṁ sādhāraṇaṁ proktaṁ liṅgānāṁ lakshaṇaṁ mayā॥
