________________ 90 The Ideal Monk (13) Rice-water and barley-pap, Cold sour gruel, and barley-water, Insipid alms, who despises not, And visits the houses lowliest, he is indeed the ideal monk. 14. saddā vivihā bhavanti loe divvā mānussagā tahā tiricchā bhimă bhaya-bheravā urālā - je soccă na vihijjai, sa bhikkhu. (14) Sounds manifold there are in the world, Of gods and men, and of beasts too, Dreadful, frightening and aweful ones; Who bears them unperturbed, he in indeed the ideal monk. 15. vādam viviham samecca loe sahia khey'aigė ya koviy'appa panne abhibhū ya savra-damsi uvasante avihedaë, sa bhikkhu. (15) Knowing doctrines different in the world, Wishing well, griefless, and learned; Wise, conquering, and perceiving everything, Tranquil and unoffensive, he is indeed the ideal monk. 16. asippa-jīvi agihê amitte ji'indie savvao vippamukke anu-kkasäi lahu-appa-bhakkhe ceccă giham egacare, sa bhikkhú. (16) Not living on craft, without house and friends, Subduing his senses, free from ties all; With passions tenuous, eating light and little, Houseless and living alone, he is indeed the ideal monk. Dasave âliyam, X SA-BHIKKHU 1. nikkhamma-m-aņaya buddha vayanë niccam citta-samāhio havejjā itthina vasain na yāvi gacche, vantam no padi yāyai (je), sa bhikkhu. (1) Abiding by the Law, who renounces the world, Contemplates ever on the words of the Enlightened One; And avoiding all women, swallows not back The vomit, he is indeed the ideal monk.
