महापातकयुक्तानां जंतूनां शर्वविद्विषाम् । त्रिपुंड्रोद्धूलनद्वेषो जायते सुदृढं मुने १८ ।

After performing the sacred rites of Śiva in the fire, the devotee who has realised the Self shall smear the forehead with the ashes repeating the mantra beginning with “Tryāyuṣā[2]”. The moment the ashes (bhasma) come in contact with his body he will be freed from sins of his impious acts.
