History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v3.c37.80.4

v3.c37.80.4

It is almost on the same lines as the worship of Viṣṇu set out above with the difference that the names of Śiva such as Mahādeva, Bhava, Rudra, Tryambaka are substituted and some of the mantras are different. A few differences will be found in the text quoted below. It is stated therein that when the worship is of a *liṅga* immovably fixed then there is no invocation to come and no bidding of good-bye.¹⁷³⁵
