(1) There may be images installed in temples or open shrines, which are not of individual ownership, and hence not for any ones' livelihood (*jīvikā*), or for sale (*paṇya*), but are for worship (*pūjārtha*). These images remain outside the purview of Pāṇini's rule. How they were named, whether *Śiva* or *Śivaka* we are left to guess, but there is all the probability that they were named without the *kaṇ* suffix, as *Śiva*, *Skanda*, etc.
