Trans. 26-27-28-29-30. If you ask as to how clothes etc. are useful in the practice of ) austerity, (then) listen (to nie). (They render) protection from cold (to ascetics ), and pro. tect creatures found in fire, and grass. (A garment) is also
(necessary means of (conducting) study and meditation to the ascetics during all hours of night. It renders (them ) protection from clods of earth, rain, fog, and dust particles. (It is used ) in covering and carrying the corpse. (It is ) considered as useful to sick persons in that way, muhapatti. (a piece of cloth held between the nose and mouth to prevent dust, insects etc.) should, also, he (given) proper importance. Hence, a devoted ascetic ought to hold a vessel for the purpose of protecting insects found in milk, water, and such other drinks, in order to prevent it being spilt down, prevent killing of insects, and (avoid) faults like paścāt Karman, and for the benefit of the sick and young. Mutual tolerance is cultivated only in this way. (2575-2579).
