Description of the chapter [辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻惫颈诲丑颈]: Sut墨k峁ａ箛a wants now to know when, how and where an image of R膩ma is to be installed. Agastya begins to answer him by extolling the virtues of installation ceremonies, the mere seeing of which is very auspicious. He then points out that a variety of methods exist for doing this. As for when and where it ought to be done, it is to be done preferably on the ninth day of 肠补颈迟谤补鈥檚 bright fortnight, even though other months may also serve as alternates. He adds that certain other deities鈥擥op膩la, N峁泂i峁僪a, Ke艣ava and Ananta鈥攅ach have their own auspicious times for installation also. The rewards for seeing to installation [辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻] of R膩ma are given. [...] As for the icons themselves which are to be installed鈥攏amely idols of R膩ma, S墨t膩, Lak峁a峁嘺 and Hanuman鈥攖hese may be made of stone, metal or wood. But they should all, when displayed as a single group, be of the same material. Prati峁ａ弓h膩-ceremonies are then described for a temple. The temple precincts are to be decorated; a pit dug, a 辫墨峁环补-pedestal furnished with a yantra-diagram, subsidiary icons placed, Ga峁噀艣vara readied, 辫谤补迟颈尘腻诲腻苍补 ceremonies (as already described in adhy. XXVII, above) observed, and the R膩ma-image is to be made according to either the 诲补艣腻办峁谤补 or the dv膩诲补艣腻办峁谤补 method [尘腻谤驳补].
2) 笔谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻惫颈诲丑颈 (啶啶班い啶苦し啷嵿啶距さ啶苦ぇ啶�) or 鈥淩ules for Sanctification Ceremonies鈥� is also the name of the fifth chapter of the Agastyasa峁僪it膩 (补驳补蝉迟测补-产谤补丑尘补-蝉补峁僾腻诲补 edition).
Description of the chapter [辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻惫颈诲丑颈]: Brahm膩 says he will now turn to ceremonies of sanctification [辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻]. The proper time having been decided upon, a 尘补峁囜笉补辫补-pavilion is especially built in front of the 辫谤腻蝉腻诲补 for the purpose, and in it fire-pits are to be provided, 迟辞谤补峁嘺蝉 decorated, etc. (1-18a). Pots are to be placed on a 尘补峁囜笉补濒补-design, and into them the presence of certain gods are to be invoked with mantras. Homa is done, and after kautukabandha has been done to the icon鈥檚 right wrist, the icon is taken to a sn膩na-尘补峁囜笉补辫补 for several baths. During these bathing rites, the idol鈥檚 eyes are ritually 鈥渙pened鈥� [苍别迟谤辞苍尘墨濒补苍补] (18b-64a). [...] Vi峁ａ箛u is invoked, offered liturgical worship, and asked to recline on His 艣补测补苍补-couch, whereupon the 诲别艣颈办补-priest undertakes some disciplined meditation on the Lord in His Vy奴ha-icons and in other aspects of His 艣补办迟颈-power (64-120). Doing this, well-trained 腻肠腻谤测补蝉 perform sanctification and installation rites [辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻] to an icon of the Lord (122). [...] Agastya then asks if there are different types of 辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻 in accordance with V膩sudeva, et. al. Brahm膩 replies that as the 尘奴谤迟颈 varies, so do the details of the (five kinds of) 辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻-rites for it change鈥攂ut that a constant in such operations is to regard the 尘奴谤迟颈s as mantras, which mantras (鈥攁nd thereby which 尘奴谤迟颈s鈥�) may be worshipped both mentally and liturgically in a cakr膩bja尘补峁囜笉补濒补-design. How this worship is done is elaborated.

Following these rituals, then, the final consecration rites [pr膩峁嘺辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻] commence (22-25). Consecration of the temple-structure must also be done, and this includes fire-offerings [homa] and sprinkling of the towers with water and sandal-paste ( 26-31 ). Next day, at an auspicous time, the main idol [尘奴濒补产别谤补] is moved into place, made perfectly upright with plumb-lines, and then fastened to the floor of the sanctuary, with a sacred cement mixture (32-38). The seven other idols are also consecrated (39-42), and the temple is then dosed for three days. On the fourth day only may 辫奴箩腻-worship commence (30-44a) After this, the 腻肠腻谤测补 is hailed and rewarded (44b-46a).

[...] If the 辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻-installation is going to be done for several icons [产腻丑耻产别谤补], the 尘奴濒补产别谤补 is first taken care of, and then the 膧c膩rya starts the procedure for others by bringing the 办补谤尘补谤肠腻 [utsavabera] to the sanctuary and offering it 辫腻诲测补 (42b-45).
