The Uttarabhāga consists of 98 chapters (paṭalas) [...] Chapters 35 to 71 are mainly concerned with installation and construction rites. [...] Chapters 40 and 41 cover temple construction principles for other types of Liṅgas (liṅgavaśāt prāsāda) and the Sārvadeśika type of Liṅga (sārvadeśikaprāsāda).
