281.22.7

Lalati (Lalat), I, is the distinctive sign of those who worship Roudra (Rudra) and his son Seti (Sati). This Rudra is, these madmen say, the God of life and death; thus he subjects everyone to either whenever he wishes, and creates or kills whom he will. He is the third person of their false Trinity, according to some. But others say that it is Siva. This mark is imprinted or placed on the forehead, arms, breast, elbow, abdomen, thighs, and knees, invoking each time the name of Rudra and Sety (Sati). Ordepound (Ordhpund), V, is the distinctive mark of the worshippers of Vishenou, or Visnu (Vishnu). They profess to represent thereby a very disgraceful thing, to name which modesty forbids. It is impressed on their foreheads while they invoke Vishnu. Sometimes they insert a red dot in the middle.
