Vibhuti.  How to wear it.

"Sadyo Jaatadi panchabrahma mantrihi bhasmam sangruhya ' agniriti bhasma'
etyanye nabhi mantra 'manastoka' iti samudrutya jalena samsrujya
sirolalaatavakshas skhandheshviti tisrubhistrayushy strambakai
stiryaktisroreakha prakurveeta.  Vrata meta chaaombhavam sarveshu vedeshu
vedavaadibhiruktam bhavati. tatsamaacharernmumukshurna punarbhya."

Tripumdram dharanasya tridhareka aalalaata dachakshusho rabruvormadhyatascha.

I tried to type the sanskrit verse best I could.  Now what the 3 lines mean!

The first line 'Garhapatyagni' akaram. rajogunam
second line 'dakshnangni' ukaram
thirdline 'aahavaniyagni' makaram

The 3 lines combined mean: AUM     'om'

Tripundra bhasmana karoti yo vidwan brahmachari gruhi vanaprasto yatirva sa
mahapatakovapatakebhyah puto bhavati.
sa sarvanveda nadhito bhavati.
sa sarvan devano dhato bhavati.
sa sarveshu tirdeshu snato bhavati.
sakala rudramantrajapi bhavati.
sa punaraavartate na sa punaraavarta iti.
om satya mityupanishat.

This is from Maharishi Jaabali.
