พระกาลาคนิรุทระตรัสว่า: “สสารนั้นเป็นธาตุแห่งไฟ คือภัสมะ (เถ้าศักดิ์สิทธิ์) เมื่อรับด้วยมนตร์ปัญจพรหมเริ่มด้วย ‘สัทโยชาตะ’ แล้วทำให้ศักดิ์สิทธิ์ด้วยว่า ‘ภัสมะคือไฟ ภัสมะคือลม ภัสมะคือน้ำ ภัสมะคือดิน ภัสมะคืออากาศ’ ยกขึ้นด้วย ‘มานัสโตกะ’ ผสมน้ำด้วย ‘มา โน มหานตัม’ แล้วด้วย ‘ตรียายุษัม’ พึงทำเส้นแนวนอนสามเส้นบนศีรษะ หน้าผาก อก และบ่า โดยใช้มนตร์ ‘ตรียายุษะ’ ‘ตรียัมพกะ’ และ ‘ตรีศักติ’ นี่คือวัตรศิวะ (ศามภวะ) ที่ผู้แสดงพระเวทประกาศไว้ท่ามกลางเทพทั้งปวง เพราะฉะนั้นผู้แสวงหาโมกษะพึงปฏิบัติเพื่อความไม่หวนกลับ แล้วสนัตกุมารถามว่า: ‘มาตรฐานของการทรงตรีปุณฑระคืออะไร?’ (ตอบ:) ‘เส้นมีสาม—จากหน้าผากถึงตา ถึงยอดศีรษะ และจากกึ่งกลางระหว่างคิ้ว’
Kālāgnirudra said: “The substance is fiery—ash. Taking it with the five-Brahman mantras beginning with ‘Sadyojāta’, consecrating it with ‘Ash is fire; ash is wind; ash is water; ash is earth; ash is space’, lifting it with ‘mānas toka’, mixing it with water with ‘mā no mahāntam’, and with ‘triyāyuṣam’ making three horizontal lines on the head, forehead, chest, and shoulders—(using) ‘triyāyuṣa’, ‘tryambaka’, and ‘triśakti’—one should perform this Śaiva observance. It is declared by Vedic exponents among all the deities. Therefore the seeker of liberation should practice it for non-return. Then Sanatkumāra asked: ‘What is the standard for wearing the tripuṇḍra?’ (Answer:) ‘The line is threefold—up to the eyes from the forehead, up to the crown, and from the middle of the eyebrows.’
