Śivasvarodaya
 
I now declare briefly that science of Siva with which one
can foresee the Kala (death) although it may still be far
away.

एकान्त विजनं गत्वा कृत्वाऽऽदित्यं च पृष्ठतः ।
निरीक्षयेन्निजच्छायां कण्ठदेशे समाहितः ॥ ३५२ ॥
ततश्चाकाशमीक्षेत ह्रीं परब्रह्मणे नमः
 
अष्टोत्तरशतं जप्त्वा ततः पश्यति शंकरम ॥३५३॥
शुद्धस्फटिकसंकाशं नानारूपधरं हरम् । षण्मासाभ्या
सयोगेन सूचरणांपतिर्भवेत् ॥ वर्षद्वयेन तेनाथ कर्ता
हर्तास्वयंप्रभुः ॥३५४ ॥
 
त्रिकालज्ञत्वमाप्नोति परमानन्दमेव च ।
सतताभ्यासयोगेन नास्ति किंचित्सुदुर्लभम् ॥ ३५५ ॥
 
One should go to a desolate place and then placing the
Sun on his back try to see carefully the neck of his shadow.
Thereafter, if looking at the sky, he recites the Mantra "Hrim
Parabrahmaṇe Namaḥ" one hundred and eight times he will
see the Lord Sankara whose appearance is like pure crystal
and who can assume numerous forms. One who practices
it for six months becomes a king and if he continues to prac-
tice for two years he can become the Creator, the Destroyer
and the Lord of his Self. If he continues the practice ever
after he will obtain the knowledge of all the three times, the
past, present and future, get perfect Bliss and nothing will
 
remain inaccessible to him.
 
तद्रूपं कृष्णवर्णं यः पश्यति वयोस्ति निर्मले ।
पणमासान्मृत्युमाप्नोति स योगी नात्रसंशयः ॥३५६॥
 
A Yogī who sees ( in the aforesaid manner ) the comple-
xion of Śiva as black would meet his death within six months,
there is no doubt about it.
