The seventh Brahmana starts with the conversation between King Janaka and Sage Yajnavalkya, where Janaka questions the sage about Tripundra and Bhasma. Janaka and Sage Pippalada then approach the god Brahma to learn more about the Tripundra. Pippalada then asks the same to Vishnu and Kalagni Rudra. The merits of wearing Bhasma are retold. Sanatkumara then asks Kalagni Rudra about the sacred Rudraksha, followed by a short reply on greatness of the Rudraksha.
