sayanasana-pana-bhojanam
viviham khaima-saimam paresim adae padisehie niyanthe
je tattha na paussai, sa bhikkhu. Beds and seats, drink or food,
Dainties various, and spices, by others,
Refuses to partake of, the Nirgrantha,
Who gets not angry, he is indeed the ideal monk.
jam kim c'ahára-pana-jayam
viviham khaima-saimam paresim [laddhum] jo tam tivihena nanukampe
Lord Mahâvira
mana-vaya-kaya-susamvude, sa bhikkhu. Food and drink of kind any,
And dainties various, and spices, by others, (Being offered), who blesses them not in the triple way, restrained in thought, word, and deed, he is indeed the ideal monk.
ayamagam ceva javodanam ca
siyam soviram javodagam ca. no hilae pinda nirasam tam,
panta-kulai parivvae, sa bhikkhu 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.
sadda viviha bhavanti loe
divva manussaga taha tiriccha
bhima bhaya-bherava urala
je socca na vihijjai, sa bhikkhu. Sounds manifold there are in the world,
Of gods and men, and of beasts too, Dreadful, frightening and awful ones;
Who bears them unperturbed, he in indeed the ideal monk.
