________________ 94 The Ideal Monk 16. uvahimmi amucchie agiddhë annāya-uncham pula-nippulāe kaya-vikkaya-sannihið virad savva-sangāvagae (ya ja), sa bhikkhū. (16) Neither attached to possessions, nor greedy of them, Begging remnants from families strange, and free from monk hood hollow; Abstaining from purchase, sale, and hoarding, Who is away from attachment all, he is indeed the ideal monk. 17. alola-bhikkhu na rasesu giddhe uñcham care jīviyå nâbhikankhi iddhim ca sakkāraṇā pūyanam ca cae thiy'appă aniha [jel, sa bhikkhū, (17) The mendicant, with senses not loose, nor greedy of tasty food, Living on remnants, and longing not for life; Powers supernal, respect, and reverence, who wants not; With self steadfast and energy unconcealed, is indeed the ideal monk. 18. na param vaejjāsi "ayam kusīle”, jen' anne kuppejja, na tam vaejjā; jāniya patteyà punna-pāram attāṇam na samukkase ( je), sa bhikkhū, (18) Who calls not anyone names, And says not what angers him; Knowing the virtues and vices of each, Exalts not himself to the skies, he is indeed the ideal monk. 19. na jāi-matte na ya rūva-matte, na läbha-matte na sueņa matte, mayāni savyāni vivajjayanto dhamma-jjhāna-raē ya je, sa bhikkhū. (19) Who prides not himself on caste, nor on beauty, Nor on gain, nor on learning; Eschewing all prides, Absorbed in meditation on dhamma, he is indeed the ideal monk. 20. paveyat ajja-payam mahā-muni, dhammé thio thāvayai param pi; nikkhamma vajjejja kusila-lingam na yâvi håsam kahae [je), sa bhikkhu.
