Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts (shilpa)Śilādārusaṃgraha (शिलादारुसंग्रह) (lit. “the collection of stone and wood”) is the name of chapter 11 (Kriyāpāda) of the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—Description of the chapter [śilādārusaṃgraha]: An icon may be made out of metal, gems, stone, clay, wood or marble. The varieties of metals and stones and woods which may be utilized in making an image are discussed—each affording the worshipper different benefits. Metal is discussed first (4b-6a); then stones—their varieties, how to select and test them for quality, how to determine their “sex” and employ them accordingly, how to gather them and from where, which varieties to avoid, the rituals of removal from the ground, rites of purification, etc. (6b-85); then wood—the proper time to collect it, the proper kinds of wood, the improper kinds, rituals before cutting a tree, how to cut the tree, how to prepare the wood for the carpenter’s use, etc. (86-112).
