¹⁶⁰¹ यानि शास्त्राणि दृश्यन्ते लोकेऽस्मिन्विविधानि तु । श्रुतिस्मृतिविरुद्धानि निष्ठा तेषा हि तामसी ॥ कापालं भैरवं चैव यामलं वाममर्हतम् । एवंविधानि चान्यानि मोहनार्थानि तानि तु ॥ मया सृष्टानि शास्त्राणि मोहायेषां भवान्तरे ॥ कूर्म I 12 261-263, vide also कूर्म I. 16 17-19 and 24-26 where कापाल, नाकुल, वाम, भैरव, पञ्चरात्र and पाशुपत are mentioned as produced for the same purpose. The ताराभक्तिसुधार्णव (6th तरङ्ग) p 272 quotes the कूर्मपुराण passage and remarks that those passages are meant only for praising the Veda and are not to be understood as conveying that *Tāntrik āgamas* are unauthoritative.
