Vada]
Nihnavarāda (A pupil should bear the same dress as (big) precaptar bears. A follower of Buddha would never be found with a white garment or naked. ]
It is, therefore, in the fitness of things to follow the foot. steps of Tirthankaras. But if you don't possess the qualities such as full restraint and spiritual strength as they possess, do not accept nakedness on their own words. Being the follower of the Tirthařkara, if you initiate His dress and manners, you should behave according to his advice as well. Orre who behaves contrary to the advice of his preceptor, does not attain the fulfilment of his cherished desire. The great preceptors say that ono should never accept acelakatva, unless and until he has developed the necessary qualities of unequalled fortitude and strength. By accepting a-cèlakatva, why do you transgress the advice of the preceptors ?
Sivabhati :- Just as it is necessary to behave according to the advice of the preceptor, one should certainly follow him in dress and manners also. 36 (2585).
