Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationLokāgni (लोकाग्नि) refers to the “ordinary fire”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 1.18. Accordingly, “[...] all non-ritualists shall worship the subtle Liṅga. In the place of floral offerings they shall use sacred ashes (bhasma) for adoration and food. They shall keep the Liṅga after worship on their head for ever. The ash is of three types, derived from Ordinary fire (lokāgni), Vedic fire and Śiva fire. [...] The ash derived from ordinary fire (lokāgni) shall be used for the purification of articles of mud, wood or metals and even for grains. Articles of worship like gingelly seeds, cloths and stale stuffs shall be purified with ashes. So also the objects defiled by dogs etc. The ashes shall be used with or without water according to necessity”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
