Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaBhūkarṣaṇa (भूकर्षण) refers to the “ploughing of the earth that is to precede construction”, 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 Pūrvabhāga consists of 75 chapters (paṭalas) [...] Chapters 9 to 34 present a general account of the principles and preliminary rites for the construction of temples, houses, buildings, and settlements. [...] Chapter 11 outlines criteria for evaluating a construction site. In Chapters 12 and 13, there are descriptions of offerings to be made at the entrance to the site and a procedure for taking possession of the site. Chapter 14 provides directions for the ploughing of the earth that is to precede construction (bhūkarṣaṇa).
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.
