can you provide justification for the above paragraph? I would like
to know the following

(i) the exact verses in the jayAkhya & sanatkumAra
samhitas mentioning what you are quoting
(ii) What the "Worship" entails
(iii) whether the installation of the vinAyaka idol is a part of
the dEvatha installation around the temple, or a separate ritual
for vinAyaka
(iv) your data sources that lead you to say that the practice of
installation of divine vigrahas of AzvhArAchAryAs replaced what
used to be, in your opinion, a practice of installation of vinAyaka
in the temples.
