10. The Chapter with the Refrain "he is a true monk"
[is] a [true) monk. 5. He who, pleased with the teaching of Nāyaputta, deems the six forms [of living beings) as equal to himself, embraces the five great vows and closes the five [doors of] influences – he [is] a [true] monk. 6. He who continuously expels the four passions and is in close connection with the teaching of the Jinas, owes no riches nor gold and silver and avoids contact with [people) living in houses - he [is] a [true] monk. 7. He who, possessing right belief and, never distracted [and fully convinced] that there exist [true] knowledge, fasting, and self-control — [and] by means of fasting [a monk] removes the [consequences of] past evil deeds - [he who] guards himself well in mind, speech, and body - he [is] a [true) monk. 8.
