v1.c5.s8.8
The first plot, though without parts, is Sakala, complete in itself. In the second type, four kinds of evil spirits are fenced in, for appeasement or worship. With this purpose is combined the worship of Śiva, on the same field. Here Śiva in his commensurable aspect (sakala) covers the extent of the plots of the Bhūtas, etc., of the evil ones, comprehending the four; and at the same time his rites are performed there to Śiva without attributes and qualities and non-manifest (niṣkala). This second type of the sacred field is also without a temple.
