navāhaṃ vāpi saptāhamekāhaṃ ca tryahaṃ tathā| homaśca pūrvavatprokto nityamabhyarcya śaṅkaram||
Sūta said: Garments, fields, ornaments, cows and cash shall be given to the chief.[14] A great festival shall be celebrated. Homa, Yāga and Bali shall be offered in due order for the duration of nine, seven or three days or even for one day. Homa shall be done as mentioned before daily after worshipping Śaṅkara. Homās on behalf of Devas, Bhāskara etc. shall be done as before. They shall be daily worshipped within and without[15] as also in the fire. He who installs the Liṅga in this manner becomes identical with Parameśvara himself. By doing this Devas, Rudras, sages and the Apsarases shall be installed and worshipped by him. In fact, the three worlds of the mobile and immobile beings are being worshipped by him.
