The Ratnamālā⁹⁶⁴ provides different nakṣatras for the establishment of the images of different gods, one interesting provision being that the image of Buddha was to be established on Śravaṇa nakṣatra. In the case of the images of the Mātṛs, Bhairava, the Varāha, Narasiṁha and Trivikrama incarnations and of Devī, the killer of Mahiṣāsura, establishment may be made even in Dakṣiṇāyana. For the establishment of Liṅga special rules are provided for which Nirṇayasindhu (pp. 335-336) may be consulted.
