In the 痴颈峁ａ箛耻诲丑补谤尘辞迟迟补谤补辫耻谤腻峁嘺, 诲别惫补迟腻辫奴箩补苍补 i.e., the worship of god is highly recommended to attain the supreme happiness and the book suggests two ways of worship in this context-one is antarvedi and another is bahirvedi.^[1] The sacrifices undertaken for worshiping a deity were associated with the procedure called antarvedi and other procedures like 耻辫补惫腻蝉补, vrata etc. were recognized as the procedure of bahirvedi type of worship.^[2] Both these procedures of worship are seen to be practised in Hinduism. These procedures may be at the bottom of the idea of temple building. Moreover, According to the 痴颈峁ａ箛耻诲丑补谤尘辞迟迟补谤补辫耻谤腻峁嘺, temple building is regarded as a sacred work.^[3] The 叠峁沨补迟蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 also agrees on it and says that-one, who wishes to attain desirable things in this world, should construct a temple.^[4]

The reference of image worship is almost nill in the Vedic age and there was not the presence of temples like present day society. In the Vedic age, people practised to connect themselves with gods through the 测补箩帽补蝉 i.e sacrificial rites by chanting the Vedic mantras or practicing penance. In the Vedic era, Agni is considered as the mediator between the deities and the devotees or sages.^[5]

In the 痴颈峁ａ箛耻诲丑补谤尘辞迟迟补谤补辫耻谤腻峁嘺 it is clearly stated that the requirement of making of temple is most important in the Kaliyuga. Because, in the three other yugas i.e.,, 碍峁泃补, 罢谤别迟腻 and 顿惫腻辫补谤补; people could realize the existence of Gods and had tried directly to connect themselves with the supreme spirit.^[6] But in the Kaliyuga it is totally impossible due to the growth of unlawful activities in the society.

In the 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补辫耻谤腻峁嘺, it is said that after 顿惫腻辫补谤补yuga, on the very day when lord 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 left the earth, Kali, who is the source of irreligiousness had entered in this world.^[7] Thus, people of Kaliyuga have lost their power to communicate with God directly through prayers and chanting mantras. And that is why, specially in the Kaliyuga, the necessity of the temple building is suggested in the 痴颈峁ａ箛耻诲丑补谤尘辞迟迟补谤补辫耻谤腻峁嘺.^[8]
