Institutions. It was the object of Justinian to comprise in his Code and Digest, or Pandects, a complete body of law. But these works were not adapted to the purposes of elementary instruction, and the writings of the ancient jurists were no longer allowed to have any authority, except so far as they had been incorporated in the digest, Smith's Dict. of Antiq.

Temple, is as 'an edifice or place regarded primarily as the dwelling place or 'house' of a deity; hence an edifice devoted to divine worship.

In the case of a temple, it becomes a place of public religious worship when the idol is installed and consecrated and the pranaprathishta or vivification ceremony is performed.

The deity does not begin to reside in the Idol (the visible image) until the consecration or the appropriate ceremony is completed, T.V.D. Naidu v.
