¹⁷⁵⁵ About Lakulīśa, Pāśupata or Kālamukha, vide ‘Vaiṣṇavism and Śaivism’ p. 119 ff. In the Vāyupurāṇa 23. 221–224 it is said in a prophetic strain that Śiva would assume the form of Nakulī (Lakukī?) and the place where he will appear will be called the holy place of Kāyārohaṇa. Vide E. I. vol. II. p. 124, vol. XII. p. 337, vol. XIV p. 265 for the Lākula doctrine, its ācāryas and other information. For the Kāpālikas, vide Bhandarkar's ‘Vaiṣṇavism and Saivism’ pp. 117, 127. A grant of Nāgavardhana, nephew of Pulakeśi (610–639 A. D.), was made providing for the worship of Kāpāleśvara and the maintenance of Mahāvratins. Yama 29 quoted in Par. M. II. part 1 p. 335 prescribes the penance of Kṛcchra for eating at a Kāpālika's house. The Karpūramañjarī (about 900 A. D.) I. 22–24 contains a caricature of Kaula (i. e. Kāpālika) practices.
