Use the valence formula for the modular group: for a nonzero modular form of weight on ,
The sum contains one representative of each other modular group orbit of zeros. The orders are nonnegative because is holomorphic on the complex upper half-plane and at infinity. The half and third weights account for the elliptic stabilizers of the modular group.
In weight two, the transformation under at its fixed point gives . Thus any nonzero would have . The valence formula for the modular group would give a left side at least and a right side , which is impossible. Therefore the unheaded request is answered by vanishing of weight-two level-one modular forms:
