**Verse 179:** If one engages in conversation mixed with laughter, etc., then one should know that they have committed the five faults (sins) of transgression, etc.
**Verse 180:** It is not appropriate for those who have renounced (the world) to stay in the homes of the wealthy. There, engaging in prohibited activities, studying, taking food and alms, and performing the act of renunciation, etc., are all prohibited.
**Meaning:** It is not suitable for the renunciant monks to stay in the homes of the wealthy. And while staying there, they should not engage in activities like sleeping, studying, taking food and alms, performing the act of renunciation, etc.
**Verse 181:** Even a monk who is endowed with qualities like seniority, etc., is corrupted by association with women. A monk, even if he is an elder, has been ordained for a long time, is a learned teacher, is an ascetic, or belongs to a noble lineage, does not consider his own self, his long ordination, his position as a teacher, his knowledge of all scriptures, his ascetic practices, or his lineage. He destroys them all, and also destroys his own right faith and other virtues.
**Meaning:** A monk whose mind is polluted by lust does not value his own self, his long ordination, his position as a teacher, his knowledge of all scriptures, his ascetic practices, or his lineage. He destroys them all, and also destroys his own right faith and other virtues.
