Sallekhana - सल्लेखना - Sallekhanā is making the Physical body and the internal passions emaciated by abandoning their sources gradually at the approach of death. The householder observes sallekhana at the end of his life. If there be no willingness sallekhanā can not be forced on one. If there is liking for it one does it oneself.
S-7/22.
सल्लेखना
Sallekhanā - Somadeva says that the practice is to be followed when the body is about to perish, like a dry leaf or a lamp without oil. The hour of this last act of life comes when eveyday the body loses strength and power of enjoyment, and is beyond remedy. Self restraint, study, austerities, worship and charity all become
useless if the mind is not pure at the last hour of life. Just as the training of a king, who has learnt the use of weapons for twelve years, becomes useless if he faints on the battlefield; similarly the past conduct of a saint is of no avail if his mind is impure at the end. One
should renounce ones affection for friends, infatuation with riches and illwill towards enemies, and then take proper steps (that is, resort to Sallekhana) after confessing all sins before the head of the congregation. Food should be gradually given up and then beverages, both sweet and pungent; and one should thereafter abstain from everything with ones mind fixed on the five Parmes thins. There are five factors that destroy the efficacy of Sallekhanā; the desire to live longer, the desire to die to avoid suffering, longing for friends, recollection of past happiness and desire for happiness in the next life.
