THE PATH OF NIRVANA OR LIBERATION 159
"What Asavas are restrained by careful dealing (note :-pati sevana appears to be the equivalent of samiti in Jainism).
The Monk, knowing himself separate through self-discrimination, uses clothes to keep off cold, heat, mosquito-biting, air, sun-shine, serpents, etc. and for shame; takes alms not for sport, nor for pride nor for glory, but for keeping the body, to be saved from injury and to follow chastity; so that old troubles may be removed and new ones may not arise and that my journey of life may go on defectless, and I may walk easily. He uses seats and beds for the removal of cold, etc., takes medicine for the removal of diseases--all these functions are done with carefulness; then those harmful å savậs which would have been caused by carelessness would not happen.
"कतमे आसवा अधिवासना पहातव्वाः-भिक्कु पटिसंखायोनिसो खामोहोति सीतस्स उण्हस्स जिघच्छाय पिपासाय दंसमकसवातातप सिरिंसप संफस्सनानं दुरुत्तानं दुरागतानं बचनपथानं उप्पन्नानं सारीरिकानं वेदनानं दुःखानं तिप्पानं खरानं कटुकानं असातानं अमनापानं पाणहराणं
अधिवासक जातिकोहोति अस्स भिकवे अनधिवासयतो...... नहोति......इमे आसवा अधिवासना पहातव्वा."
" Katame asava adhi va sana paha-tavva. Bhikkhu pati sankhá yoniso khamo hoti sitassa unhassa, jighachchâya pipâsâ ya dansa makasa vâtıî-tapa sirim sapa samphassananam duruttanam durâgatânam
