ʰپ峾ṛtṃgṇa (प्रतिमामृत्संग्रहण) (lit. “concerning selection of clay for modelling icons�) is the name of chapter 7 of the ʳܰṣoٳٲṃh: a Pāñcarātra text consisting of more than 1800 verses devoted to temple-building and the practical concerns of the Pāñcarātra priestly community.—Description of the chapter [پ峾ṛtṃgṇa]: An icon made of clay may be either “fired� or not (1-2a)—the unbaked type being considered superior. Bhagavān then turns to the qualities of clays that are to be used according to the status of various Yajamānas (2b-4), and how to mix the day with bark before using, etc. (5-17a), prior to performing 󾱱-rites, and other rituals (17b-20). Only after a month has elapsed should the icon be fashioned from this “seasoned� clay (21).
