ASCETIC PRAXIS
29. In a year, except for the monsoon-stay (four months of the monsoon season), for eight months of summer and winter seasons these Shraman Bhagavants never stayed in a village for more than one night and in a city for more than five nights.
Like sandal-wood they were benevolent even for those who harmed them. In other words, they were beyond any feelings of attachment and aversion for things painful like a sharp edged cutting tool or soothing like sandal-wood. To them a lump of sand or that of gold were same. They were equanimous in pleasure and pain. They were free of any obsessions related to this life and the other.

Elaboration-This aphorism informs about the one night village-stay and five night city-stay for ascetics. However, in general the code of month long stay is in practice.
