purpose of begging food and drink, (or) to eat this food, to move to a place of study or to a place for depositing excreta, to commence studies, to attain an altitude for the practice of kāyotsarga meditation. If he or they listen to him (i.e., permit him), then he is permitted to visit the householder's residence and/or do the rest; but if he or they do not listen, then he is not permitted to visit the householder's residence, ...till attain an altitude for the practice of kāyotsarga meditation. 52 वासावासं पज्जोसवियाणं णो कप्पइ णिग्गंथाण वा णिग्गंथीण वा अणभिग्गहिय-सेज्जासणिएणं होत्तए प्रायाणमेयं-अणभिग्गहिय-सेज्जासणि यस्स अणुच्चा-कुइयस्स अणट्ठाबंधिस्स अमियासणियस्स अणातावियस्स असमियस्स अभिक्खणं अभिक्खणं अपडिलेहणा-सीलस्स अपमज्जणा-सीलस्स तहा तहा णं संजमे दुराराहये भवइ ।
In the course of the parjuşaņā during the monsoon sojourn, a monk as well as a nun must have his bed and cushion; not having (them) is not approved. Such is the accepted prescription (for monks as well as nuns): one who has not taken a separate bed and cushion, whose spinal chord is not straight, who is not established on a spiritual seat with his eight limbs duly fixed, who has not borne the trouble of undergoing a penance, who has not made a formal acceptance of a vow, who is not used to frequently recollecting his own lapse, and who is not used to inspect and clean things of his own use, for such one, restraint is impossible to practise.

अणायाणमेयं अभिग्गहिय-सेज्जासणियस्स उच्जा-कुइयस्स अट्ठा-बंधिस्स मियासणियस्स आयावियस्स समियस्स अभिक्खणं अभिक्खणं पडिलेहण
सीलस्स पमज्जण-सीलस्स तहा तहा णं संजमे सुाराहए भवइ । ५४ Contrariwise, he who has taken a separate bed and a separate cushion, who has a straight spinal chord, who is established on a spiritual seat with his eight limbs duly fastened, who has exposed himself to the rigours of penance, who has made a formal acceptance of a vow, who is used to recollecting his lapses very often, and who is accustomed to inspecting and cleaning things of his use, for such one restraint is easy to attain.
