That twice born person who is as master of the vedas and who, considering this life to be exceedingly unstable, renounces his body on those mountains, abstaining from all food and drink according to the rites laid down in the scriptures, after having worshipped the gods and bent his head in worship of the ascetics is sure to acquire success and proceed to the eternal regions of Brahman.
शरीरमुत्सृजेत् तत्र विधिपूर्वमनाशके। अध्रुवं जीवितं ज्ञात्वा यो वै वेदान्तगो द्विजः॥ अभ्यर्च्य देवतास्तत्र नमस्कृत्य मुनींस्तथा। ततः सिद्धो दिवं गच्छेद् ब्रह्मलोकं सनातनम्॥
