Translation and purport :
The Shedding of karmas is caused by austerities. They are of two kinds; external and internal. The external austerities are of six kinds :--
(1) Anasana-fasting. Not taking any of the four kinds of food e.g. eatable, drinkable, lickable and tastable, for promoting self-control, for destroying lust and for attaining self-concentration.
(2) Avamôdarya-Taking less than what is required for the appetite, for awakening in control, subsidence of defects, contentment, easy engagement in reading and meditation.
(3) Vritti pari sankhyana-to have a sacred pledge in mind before going for alms such as to go till so many homes, etc. If the pledge is not fulfilled and if alms are not procured then to have satisfaction and to subdue desires.
