_Jo tume niyamo chinno, bhikku bhavammi suvvaaya. . . Aagaaramavasantas, savvo sanvijae taha._
**Translation:**
O one who has attained the highest vows! You have accepted the Arhathood initiation and are engaged in the observance of the great vows, etc. Even while living in a house, those vows will remain the same and will continue to be observed.
**Commentary:**
Furthermore, O one who has attained the highest vows! The great vows, etc., which you have observed in the past during your renunciation, have been fulfilled by the restraint of the senses. Even now, while living in a house, you will continue to observe the householder's life properly. The idea is that good and bad deeds, once done, do not disappear.
