"O Monks! Just as a dirty cloth is cleansed by pure water, so eating alm of rice makes him chaste, pious and intelligent; this the monk knows; leaving this, he does not accept many kinds of sauces and sweetmeats, for they will be obstructing."

Ch. II Kûla sîlam.
"He abstains from destroying life. Full of modesty and pity, he is compassionate and kind to all creatures that have life. He refrains from injuring any herb or any creature. He takes but one meal a day; abstaining from food at night time or at the wrong time."

"He lives on food provided by the faithful, refrains from injuring plants or animals."
