( Lustre VI
ete şaț mokṣasādhane bahirangatvād bāhyam tapaḥ.
(Aph.) Fasting, semi-fasting, conditional acceptance of alms, abstinence from the delicacies, austerity, and seclusion constitute the external penance. (XXIX)
(Gloss) These six are external penances (in the sense of being preliminary and preparatory) inasmuch as they are externals of the means of emancipation. (These are indispensable, though sometimes they result as incidental occurrences at the higher stages of penance such as dhyāna and kāyotsarga.)

(Aph.) Fasting means avoidance of aliments. (XXX)
(Gloss) Fasting means giving up of fourfold aliments viz. food such as cereals and pulses, drink, dry fruits and the like, and spices. It is twofold: (i) short-term fasting which lasts from one day upto six months: (ii) life-long fasting which is undertaken to be observed upto death. The latter is threefold : (i) bhakta-pratyākhyāna-giving up of food till death. In this penance, the practiser can move in a restricted place fully in accordance with the rules of samitis (comportments); (ii) ingini maranain this, the movement is further restricted to the place he occupies for the purpose of fasting. Here, he can move his limbs, but the movement should be as less as possible; (iii) prāyopagamana-here the movement is completely stopped till the end of the penance, which continues till death.
