վԲٳ貹Բ (विमानस्थाप�) refers to a certain ceremony performed by Ādiśaiva priests (Ācāryas), as defined in the Śaivāgamas.—The Ācāryas were honoured with 岹ṣiṇ� on the occasion of [various] ritual ceremonies. Besides that, they received a share of the naivedya and Ծⲹ each day. [...] After վԲٳ貹Բ and Maṇḍapasthāpana, the Āgama recommends that the Guru along with the Mūrtipa be honoured with new clothes and appropriate 岹ṣiṇ� starting from 10 Ծṣk in the case of Բٳ貹Բ. In the chapter on Parivāralakṣaṇa, the āgama specifies 岹ṣiṇ� between one and ten Ծṣk for all ritual officiants starting from the Guru.
