In this chapter of the Shiva Mahapuranam there is a detailed maahaatmya kathanam of the Bhasma - Bhasma Maahaatmyam. Some of the salient features are:
Bhasma dhaaranam is for All four varnas and beyond. It is for both men and women. There are types of bhasmaVishnu also donned the Bhasma Tripundra. Those who deride bhasma dharanam will meet hellish ends. There are mantras for dhaarana. The Jaabala, Brihajjaabala, etc. are cited as pramana for bhasma dharana vidhi. Those with urdhva pundra, chakrankana, are not fit for Shiva yajna-s. Bhasma dharana gives moksha phalam too apart from paapa kshaya. Shiva loka is above Brahma, Vishnu loka. The significance of the three lines of bhasma tripundra is given here. A study of this chapter reveals a lot of information on the topic. The Shiva Puranam has been cited by Shankara in the VSN Bhashya, Sridhara Swamin (13/14th Cen CE) in Vishnu Purana commentary and the 13th Cen CE author of the 'sarva mata sangraha' - all for Shiva Paratvam.
