He must never stay long at one place nor stand in a lax way, and he is not allowed either to be inquisitive or to recite long quotations from the texts (K. 3, 22-24; Ayār. II 58, 28; 59, 1).1
Ayar. II 1 and Dasav. 5 contain many more details to which we cannot refer here, and it is especially in the latter section that we gain an insight into the deficiencies of human nature." The cleanliness and, for this reason, the edibility of the alms (phãsuya3 esanija) have been treated in summarizing representation of the Pindanijjutti. The different qualities making them to become unacceptable-and they are so even in case of doubt (Ayār. II 54, 13)—are there indicated as 15 or 16 uggamadosa or mistakes on the side of the giver, 16 uppāyana-d. or illgotten acquisition of the receiver, 10 gahan'esaṇā-d. and as either 4 or 5 ghasa- or paribhog'esanā-d. or unclean condition and application. For these expressions compare Thān. 159a, 320a, 487a; Pindanijj. v. 129ff. Some of the 46 (Pindanijj. 659; Sthan. 159b)5 appear in the following on the ground of the earlier texts. Viy. 291 b already says that greedily eaten food is called saingāla, food eaten in a state of anger sadhūma, and food improved by admixtures samjayaṇā-dosa-duṭṭha. These are three of the ghas'esanā-dosa.
RENUNCIATION
§154. The person of the giver-mostly a woman as may be concluded from Dasav. 5, 28, etc is in the first line affected by the prohibition of the sāgāriya-pinda. He who accommodates a monk may not equally treat him to food and drink (Āyār. II 78, 12; Nis. 2, 46-48, Dasā 2, 11; Viy. 231a; Dasav. 3, 5), though what of alms he gives may be accepted for the benefit of one who is ill or otherwise prevented from doing his begging round, and also for the teacher acc. to Vıy. 374a (davet, K. 2, 19-28, Vav. 9, 1-30, 36-39; Pajj 14-16) Weak and ill monks
1. The beggars in general (bhikkhaga) owing to their swarming in all directions are compared with fishes (Than 341 b) and owing to their obtrusiveness of different intensity with worms (ghuna) (ibd 185 b) eating up the outer or inner bark of a tree, its wood or its pith
