Pashupata-sutra

Pashupata-sutra (IAST: Pāśupatasūtra) is a Sanskrit-language text regarded as revelation by the Pashupata Shaivite sect of ancient India.

[3] In the text, Shiva enters the dead body of a Brahmana, which comes to life as Lakulisha and imparts teachings to four disciples.

[1] According to the text, a Pashupata ascetic must be a Brahmana male who does not speak with people from the low castes or women.

He leaves the temple, and engages in anti-social behavior in order to attract verbal and physical abuse.

After six months in this union, he starts living in a cremation ground, survives on whatever is available, and finally dies.
