The Adi Purana, a vast ocean of time, was crossed by Paruhmara, the great one. He honored the self-enlightened minister, the guide, as the one who would help him cross. ||23||
He cultivated equality, friendship, and non-attachment everywhere. He became a monk, free from external and internal attachments. ||232||
With a resolute mind, he embraced the vow of renunciation of body and food, and he devoted himself to the ultimate purity of worship with a calm and collected mind. ||233||
Having taken the vow of Prayopagama, he renounced all attachment to the body, desiring neither self-created nor other-created benefits. ||234||
His body became emaciated due to his intense austerities, but his mind remained focused on the five Supreme Beings, leading to the purification of his karma. ||235||
His body became weak due to prolonged fasting, but his vow remained firm. This is the vow of great souls, to never waver in their commitments. ||236||
His body, depleted of blood, flesh, and other bodily fluids, became as weak as the clouds of autumn. Or, you could say, he was like a god, free from flesh and blood. ||237||
Seeing him embrace the vow of the beginning of death, his eyes, as if filled with sorrow, retreated from their usual playful expressions. ||238||
Although his cheeks were dry, devoid of blood, flesh, and skin, he still retained the beauty of his past, like a golden statue, free from sin. ||239||
