Umbartha sthapana vidhi mein panchadhatu zaroori nahi hota. Aksar yeh vidhi aur parampara ke anusaar hota hai — kai jagah symbolic sthapana ki jaati hai, aur kai jagah specific dravya ka niyog hota hai.

General Jain maryada ke anusaar:

• Agar aapke guru ya vidhi-granth mein panchadhatu ka nirdesh ho, tabhi use karein.
• Agar aisa nirdesh nahi hai, to panchadhatu ki avashyakta nahi hoti.
• Sthapana ka mukhya bhaav bhakti, shuddhi aur maryada hai, na ki keval dhatu.

Isliye: Default mein panchadhatu mat maaniye; sirf tabhi use kijiye jab aapki parampara/vidhi mein likha ho.
