92 The Ideal Monk
(6) Giving up passions fourfold,
Absorbed always in words of the Enlightened One; Without possessions, away from silver and gold,
Who forsakes the world, he is indeed the ideal monk.
7. sammad-dițshi sayā amüdhe
"atthi hu nāně tavè ya samjame ya" tavasă dhuņai purāņa-pāvam
mana-vaya-kāya-susamvide [je], sa bhikki. (7) With faith set right, and ever from delusion free,
Believer in wisdom, austerity and restraint; Who shakes off sins old by penance (from the soul), Restrained in thought, speech, and body, he is indeed the
ideal monk.
8.
taheva asanam <va> pāņagam vā
viviham khāima-sāimam labhittā "hohi attho sue parë vā”
tam na nihe na nihāvae Lje), sa bhikkhū.
(8) And thus on getting any food or drink,
Dainties various, and spices; Intending to use them on the morrow or further still, Who stores them not, nor gets stored, he is indeed the ideal
monk.
9.
Taheva asaņam <va> pāņagam vā
viviham khāima-säimam labhittā chandiya săhammiyāņa bhunje,
bhoccă sajjhāya-raë ya jê, sa bhikkhū.
(9) And also on getting any food or drink,
Dainties various, and spices; Inviting fellow monks, who eats,
And engages in study after eating, he is indeed the ideal monk.
10.
na ya vuggahiyam kaham kahejjā
na ya kuppè nihu' indie pasante, samjama-dhuva <dhira> joga-jutra
uva santé avihedae ( je), sa bhikkhū.
(10) Who indulges not in talks contentious,
Nor is angered, with senses unruffled, and tranquil; Always devoted, and absorbed in restraint full,
Quiet and calm, belittling none, he is indeed the ideal monk.
