An Earthly liṅga shall be used by women especially by those whose husbands are alive. In the case of widows who are engaged in worldly and sacred rites a crystal liṅga is recommended.
O sages of good rites, in the cases of widows whether they be in a childhood, youth or old age, a Rasaliṅga is specially recommended if they continue to be holding rites.
A liṅga of pure crystal bestows all sorts of worldly enjoyment on women. The worship of the pedestal grants all cherished desires of the worshipper in this world.
A ritualist shall perform all the worship in a Vessel.At the conclusion of Abhiṣeka (ceremonial bath) the Naivedya consisting of cooked rice of the Śālī variety shall be offered.
When the worship is over, the liṅga shall be kept in a casket and placed separately in the house. Persons who worship their own liṅgas shall, after the worship is over, offer as food those articles of diet to which they are accustomed.
