Austerity - Eṇcīrkkaḻineṭil āciriyaviruttam.
Even if one ingests efficacious, fine medicines, practices rare kinds of yoga, / and restrains the breath within; / even if one performs austerities on a red-hot iron needle, / is there any other refuge besides afflicting the body? / Having adorned oneself with scrutinized sacred ash, recited the five letters, / rejoiced in heart, and comprehended the path of the Śivāgamas, / is it not true that those who circumambulate well-suited Aruṇācala / have occupied Mount Kailāsa in the twinkling of an eye?
