Vayudeva on Upamanyu's penance

वायुरुवाच |

Vayudeva said (to the sages)

भक्त्या पञ्चाक्षरेणैव पत्रैः पुष्पैर्वनोद्भवैः |
समभ्यर्च्य चिरं कालं चचार परमं तपः || 54 ||

Worshipping (a Shivalinga made of clay/mud) with leaves and flowers
which grow in the forest with the five-lettered (mantra) with devotion
for a long time, (Upamanyu) practised penance of the highest level
(consuming only wind, not food).
