O king of the celestials do you hear it with Rudra in your company, O lord of Shachi. If a person, ascending a mountain stands there on one foot, with arms upraised and joined together and abstaining from food, looks at a burning fire, he acquires the merits of severe penances and obtains the rewards of fasts.
रुद्रेण सह देवेश तन्निबोध शचीपते। पर्वतारोहणं कृत्वा एकपादो विभावसुम्॥ निरीक्षेत निराहार उर्ध्वबाहुः कृताञ्जलिः। तपसा महता युक्त उपवासफलं लभेत्॥
