## Dasha-Shrutskandha Sutra
## Seventh Dasha
A naked ascetic who has taken the vow of a one-night mendicant (bhiksu-pratima) should always be free from attachment to the body (vyutsrusht-kaya). As long as he can endure, he should, with the eighth part of his food (ashtame bhakte), without water (apanake), outside the village (bahigramasya) or even outside the capital (yavad rajadhaniya), with a slightly bent body (ishta-pragbhar-gatena kayena), with a single-pointed vision (ek-pudgalasthitaya drishtya), with unblinking eyes (animish-nayanabhyam), with limbs in their proper position (yatha-pranihitairagairaih), with all senses subdued (sarvendriyairagptai), with both feet drawn in (dvaavapi padau sanhritya), with outstretched arms (pralambita-paneh), stand in a place (sthanam sthatum). There, he will endure divine, human, and animal afflictions (divyam manushyam tiryagyo-nikamcha [upasarga]). If he experiences the urge to urinate or defecate (uchchar-prasravanam utpadyet), he should not hold it back (na sa kalpata uchchar-prasravanavagrahitum). He should, however, be able to release it (kalpate sa purva-pratilikhite sthandhile uchchar-prasravane parishthapitum) on the previously designated spot (purva-pratilikhite sthandhile). He should stand in the proper posture (yathavidhye eva sthanam sthatum).

**Meaning:**
A naked ascetic who has taken the vow of a one-night mendicant should always be free from attachment to the body. He should endure all afflictions, both divine, human, and animal. He should stand outside the village or even outside the capital, with a slightly bent body, a single-pointed vision, unblinking eyes, limbs in their proper position, and all senses subdued. He should keep both feet drawn in and his arms outstretched. If he experiences the urge to urinate or defecate, he should not hold it back, but should release it on the previously designated spot. He should then cleanse himself and stand in the proper posture.
