Śailādi said: The neck shall be half of that (i.e. three aṅgulas). The tongue shall be like the root. The stick shall be similar in shape to a cow’s tail.[3] The tip of the ladle shall be like a nose with two round holes filled with pearls. If the length is thirty-six aṅgulas, the width shall be eight aṅgulas. The height shall be half of it rendered level by means of a thread. The mouth shall be seven aṅgulas in length and width. After making the tip one-third of the whole in length the remaining part shall be left off. The neck shall be two aṅgulas in length and its expanse shall be four aṅgulas. The altar shall be eight aṅgulas in length as well as expanse. In its middle a hole shall be dug four aṅgulas in width.
