In the Padma Purana, Anangaseena, whose body was scorched by hunger and thirst, and who was constantly immersed in the ocean of sorrow, her mind utterly dejected, sustained herself on fruits and leaves. (70) The winter, which robbed the lotus groves of their beauty, came upon her, and she endured it, for it was the consequence of her actions. (71) The herds of animals breathed heavily, many trees withered, and her body became extremely rough. She endured the scorching sun of summer in the same way. (72) The monsoon season, with its flashing lightning, darkness caused by the cool showers, and rising rivers, she also endured as best she could. (73) Her body, devoid of luster, torn, thin, with scattered hair and covered in dirt, was like a faded painting after the rain. (74) Just as the waning moon loses its brilliance in the sunlight, so too did her weak body become devoid of beauty. (75) She went to the forest of kapittha trees, their branches bent down with ripe, dusky-colored fruits, and remembering her father, she wept with sorrow. (76) "Born of a Chakravarti, I have come to this state in the forest. Surely, this is the result of my evil deeds in past lives." (77) With her face like a day of misfortune, her eyes cast down, tears flowing ceaselessly, she would pick up the fallen fruits and find peace. (78) Her body, emaciated by fasts, including the sixth, eighth, and others, she would sometimes break her fast with only water, and that too only once. (79) Anangaseena, who once felt sorrow even at the sight of fallen flowers on her bed, now lay on the bare ground. (80) She, who once awoke to the sound of her father's music, now awoke to the terrifying cries of jackals and other creatures. (81) Thus, enduring great suffering and breaking her fast with prasooka food, Anangaseena performed external austerities for three thousand years. (82) Then, filled with dispassion, she renounced all four types of food and, with a resolute mind, embraced Sallekhana. (83)
