S.D. 122 सल्लेखना - The death the saintaspires to attain to is termed samādhi maraña or Sallekhanā, that is to say the death of self control. Even advanced householders aspire for this auspicious form of death. The saint does not like to die like a fool, as a rat in a trap, so to speak, He selects his own time and conditions for death.

Thus disciplined the saint may hope to be able to control his inner conditions and future destiny both at the moment of death.
