Chapter Sixteen·Worship of the Earthen Liṅga·Verses 1–117
अथ षोडशोऽध्यायः
The sages ask Sūta for the rule of worshipping an earthen image. Sūta describes fashioning an image from river or well clay and worshipping Gaṇeśa, the sun, Viṣṇu, the Mother and Śiva's own liṅga with the sixteen offerings, then works through the fruit each offering bears (bathing, fragrance, food, incense, lamp, betel) and how worship's fruit multiplies by vāra, tithi and nakṣatra — Gaṇapati on the dark fourth, the sun in Śrāvaṇa, Viṣṇu on the twelfth, the Mother in Kārtika, Śiva on Ārdrā nights, and a whole constellation of Kṛttikā-day deities through the week. He sets out the great food-offering (mahānaivedya) built from twelve of everything, and the birth-offering (janma-naivedya) that ends rebirth when given to Śiva. The chapter closes with its philosophical heart: bindu and nāda as Śakti and Śiva, their union as the liṅga and the cause of the world, the liṅga as mother and father whose worship ends the jīva's birth-bondage, and the six liṅgas — praṇava, self-manifest, yantra, installed, portable, and the guru's own body — whose daily worship brings liberation while living.ऋषिगण सूत से पार्थिव प्रतिमा की पूजा-विधि पूछते हैं। सूत नदी या कुएँ की मिट्टी से प्रतिमा बनाकर गणेश, सूर्य, विष्णु, अम्बा और शिव के लिंग की षोडशोपचार पूजा का वर्णन करते हैं, फिर प्रत्येक उपचार (स्नान, गन्ध, नैवेद्य, धूप, दीप, ताम्बूल) के पृथक् फल बताते हैं तथा वार, तिथि और नक्षत्र के अनुसार पूजा के फल की वृद्धि का वर्णन करते हैं — कृष्णपक्ष चतुर्थी को गणपति, श्रावण में सूर्य, द्वादशी को विष्णु, कार्तिक में अम्बा, आर्द्रा की रात्रियों में शिव, तथा सप्ताह के प्रत्येक दिन कृत्तिकायुक्त होने पर भिन्न-भिन्न देवताओं का पूजन। वे बारह-बारह वस्तुओं से बनने वाले महानैवेद्य का, तथा शिव को अर्पित करने पर पुनर्जन्म समाप्त करने वाले जन्मनैवेद्य का विधान बताते हैं। अध्याय के दार्शनिक केन्द्र में बिन्दु और नाद को शक्ति और शिव, उनके मिलन को लिंग और जगत् का कारण, लिंग को माता-पिता का स्वरूप जिसकी पूजा जीव के जन्मबन्धन को समाप्त करती है, तथा छः लिंगों — प्रणव, स्वयम्भू, यन्त्र, प्रतिष्ठित, चर और गुरु का विग्रह — की नित्य पूजा से जीवन्मुक्ति का वर्णन करके अध्याय समाप्त होता है।
