¹⁷⁷³ य आशु हृदयग्रन्थिं निर्जिहीर्षुः परात्मनः। विधिनोपचरेद् देवं तन्त्रोक्तेन च केशवम्॥ लब्धानुग्रह आचार्यात्तेन सन्दर्शितागम.। पिण्डं विशोध्य संन्यासकृतकक्षोर्चयेद्धरिम्॥ भागवत XI. 3 47 and 49. Here पिण्डशोधन refers to the भूतशुद्धि prescribed in such तान्त्रिक works as महानिर्वाणतन्त्र (V. 93-105) and taken over in late medieval works like the पूजाप्रकाश pp. 129-133 and न्यास also is mentioned as a means of protection against evil.
