Victory over Death - Verse 80

Brahmā said: Thereafter he shall roam about for attaining complete[11] liberation, observing the sacred rite of refraining from taking food, and maintaining himself either on water, or leaves, or milk or fruits. If living thus, the ascetic does not die within six months or a year he shall strain his body by undertaking hazardous journeys. By these activities he attains identity with Śiva.
