Sūta said: All these are common to all months. I shall mention the particular features now:—The Liṅga shall be adamantine in Vaiśākha;[3] in Jyeṣṭha it shall be made of emerald; in Āṣāḍha of pearl; in Śrāvaṇa of lapis lazuli and in Bhādrapada of rubies. O leading brahmins, in Aśvina, the Liṅga shall be made of onyx; in Kārttika of coral; in Mārgaśīrṣa of lapis lazuli; in Pauṣa of topaz; in Māgha solar stone and in Phālguna of crystals.
