## The Ratnakaranḍaka on the Conduct of Śrāvakas

The Śrāvakas, with their minds free from attachment, are known to be free from the attachment of possessions. Why? Because they are healthy and free from delusion. They are content with what they have, having renounced the desire for possessions. They are also free from attachment. How? By renouncing and abandoning. What? The delusion of "mine". Where? In the ten external objects. This is the tenfold classification of external objects:

* **Field:** Land for cultivation, like a farm.
* **Building:** Houses and other structures.
* **Wealth:** Gold and other precious metals.
* **Grain:** Rice and other cereals.
* **Two-legged:** Servants and maids.
* **Four-legged:** Cows and other animals.
* **Bed:** Cots and other sleeping arrangements.
* **Seat:** Mats and other seating arrangements.
* **Vehicle:** Palanquins and other modes of transport.
* **Clothing:** Cotton, silk, and other fabrics.
* **Utensils:** Sandalwood, red ochre, brass, copper, and other materials.

Now, describing the characteristics of a Śrāvaka who has renounced permission and restraint, the text says:

> "He who does not have permission for the beginning of possessions, worldly actions, or anything else, is considered to be free from permission and restraint."

He is considered to be free from permission and restraint because he clearly does not have permission. What is permission? It is acceptance. Where? In the beginning, like in agriculture. The word "or" indicates that it applies to all cases. In possessions, like grain, servants, and maids. In worldly actions, like marriage. What is a "samdhi"? It is a mind free from attachment, a mind free from the delusion of "mine".

Now, showing the characteristics of a Śrāvaka who possesses the qualities of renunciation, the text says:

> "He who has renounced his home and gone to the forest of the monks, has taken vows from the mouth of the guru, eats by begging, practices austerities, and is a wearer of a single piece of cloth."

The Śrāvaka who possesses the qualities of renunciation is a wearer of a single piece of cloth, meaning he wears only a loincloth and is a follower of the Ārya Linga.
