tyāgo hyaprāptakāmānāṃ kāmebhyo na tathā guruḥ
yathā prāptaṃ parityajya kāmaṃ kamalalocana //
Brahmâ said — "Son ! what makes you resume your rigid austerities again ? Why do you not take your food ? Tell me plainly The benefits derived from a thousand years fast have already accrued to you by forsaking the victuals that are at your disposal The renunciation of achieved objects is greater than the abandonment of things unachieved —6-8
