The same practices are said to have been practised by the Buddha himself before he attained enlightenments. The Ajivikas are also said to have followed them91. These practices are as follows: (1) He goes naked (acelako hots). (2) He is of loose habits (performing his bodily functions, and eating food in a standing posture, not crouching down, or sitting down, as well-bred people do muttacaro ). (3) He licks his hands clean (after eating, instead of washing them, as others do )-(hatthapalekhano). (4) When on his rounds for alms, if politely requested to stop nearer, or to wait a moment, he passes solidly on (na ehi bhaddantiko na tiṭṭha bhaddantiko). (5) He refuses to accept food brought to him (nābhihataṁ) (6) He refuses to accept food if prepared especially for him ( na uddissakatam). ( 7 ) He refuses to accept any invitation ( na nimantānam sadiyati). (8) He will not accept food straight from the mouth of a pot or pan (so na kumbhimakha patigganhati. na kalopimukhā patigganhati). (9) He will not accept food placed within the threshold (na elakamuntaram ). (10) Nor among the sticks ( na dandamantaram). (11) Nor among the pestles ( na musalamantaram). ( 12 ) Nor when two persons are eating (na dvinnaṁ bhuñjamānam). (13) Nor from a pregnant woman (na gabbhaniya). (14) Nor from one giving suck ( nu payumānāya). (15) Nor from one in intercourse with a man (na purisantaragataya) (16) H will not cept food collected ( na sankattisu ). ( 17 ) Nor accept food where a dog is standing (na yattha sa upatthito hoti).
