Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaĀrṣaliṅgaprāsāda (आर्षलिङ्गप्रासाद) refers to the “temple construction for Liṅgas believed to have been previously installed and worshipped by sages”, according to the Kāmikāgama: an ancient Śaiva Āgama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century and represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (kriyāpāda).—In modern print editions, the Kāmika-āgama is structured in two major parts. The Uttarabhāga consists of 98 chapters (paṭalas) [...] Chapters 35 to 71 are mainly concerned with installation and construction rites. [...] In Chapters 38 and 39, we find principles of temple construction for liṅgas believed to have been previously installed and worshipped by sages (ārṣaliṅgaprāsāda) and by devotees.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
