सिद्धान्तशिखामणि (शिवयोगी रेणुकाचार्य - वीरशैव षट्स्थल दर्शन एवं शक्तिविशिष्टाद्वैत महाग्रन्थ)

76 A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
In accordance with the procedure laid down in the
Śāstras, one should take the fresh cowdung uttering
‘Sadyojāta-mantra’ and then make it into a good ball (piṇḍa)
uttering ‘Vāmadeva-mantra’. Then one should dry it with
‘Tatpuruṣa-mantra’ and bake it in Śivāgni uttering
‘Aghoramantra’. (14-15) That Bhasma should be known as
‘Kalpa’. Now Anukalpa is told. The dry cowdung which is
found in the forests, which is powdered and which is burnt, is
the Bhasma called ‘Anukalpa’. That Bhasma, which is found
in shops, etc., which is sifted through cloth, which is made
into balls with cow’s urine and which is burnt according to
the procedure mentioned above, is what is called as ‘Upakalpa’.
That Bhasma which is prepared by others, is called ‘Akalpa’.

smear it (Bhasma) on the head with ‘Īśānamantra’, on the
face with ‘Tatpuruṣamantra’ , on the chest region with
‘Aghoramantra’, on the private parts with ‘Vāmadevamantra’,
on the feet with ‘Sadyojātamantra’ and on all the limbs with
