Or after seeing any evil portent [ariṣṭa] and when the time of death has arrived the man shall go to Avimukteśvara in Vārāṇasī and perform the expiatory rite. Somehow the man shall abandon his body there when, O leading brahmins, he is liberated. The man may abandon his body on the mountain, Śrīparvata.[3] He attains identity with Śiva. No doubt need be entertained in this regard. Avimukta is a greatest shrine always bestowing salvation on the creatures. The intelligent man shall resort to it always especially when death is imminent.
