[...] Worship of Śiva, propitiation of his phallic form, adoration of Viṣṇu (viṣṇupūjana), Sun, Gaṇeśa and other deities in accordance with the sacred texts [viṣṇusūryagaṇeśādipūjanaṃ vidhipūrvakam] were repudiated by him. The heretic sage, an expert in wielding magic art, foremost among the deceptive, criticised the ceremonial ablutions and charitable gifts that are made on auspicious occasions. [...]”
