v2.c74.s2.152

The Aparājita-pracchā has got a very elaborate procedure for the selection of a proper stone for sculpturing a linga icon. The Sūtra 203 entitled ‘Linga-Parīkṣā’ (the contents reserved here and not quoted in the Anthology) may be quoted here to bring home to the reader this great ancient Indian institution of very meticulous care in the selection of a proper kind of stone for image-making.
