Great indeed is the sin accruing even from the sight of those who censure Śiva who is the support of three worlds and those who censure the man wearing Tripuṇḍra on his forehead. They are on a par with pigs of rubbish heap, demons, donkeys, dogs, jackals and worms. Such sinful persons are hellish fiends even from their very birth.

They may not see the sun during the day and the moon during the night. They may not see them even during sleep. They may be freed by repeating the Vedic Rudra Sūkta. Those who censure a person wearing the Tripuṇḍra are fools. A mere talk with them may cause the fall into hell. There is no way of saving then.

न तांत्रिकस्त्वधिकृतो नोर्द्ध्वपुंड्रधरो मुने । संतप्तचक्रचिह्नोत्र शिवयज्ञे बहिष्कृतः ४८ ।
O sage, tāntrika is not authorised in a Śivayajña nor a person having Ūrdhvapuṇḍra (worn on the forehead by vertical mark by a Vaiṣṇava). A person marked with a heated wheel (a mark of a Vaiṣṇava) is excluded from Sivayajña.
There are many worlds to be attained as explained in Bṛhajjābāla Upaniṣad; taking that into consideration a man shall be devoted to the ashes (bhasma).
यच्चंदनैश्चंदनकेपि मिश्रं धार्यं हि भस्मैव त्रिपुंड्रभस्मना । विभूतिभालोपरि किंचनापि धार्यं सदा नो यदि संतिबुद्धयः 1.24.५० ।
Just as sandal paste alone can be applied over sandal paste, so also only the ash shall be applied over the sacred mark on the forehead. A sensible person will not apply anything over the forehead that wears the ornamental mark of ashes on it.
