Na naggacar i yā na jaṭā na paṅkā,
Not going naked, nor matted hair, nor mud,
nānāsakā thaṇḍilasāyikā vā,
nor fasting or lying on stony ground,
rājo ca jallaṁ ukkuṭikappadhānaṁ,

sodhenti maccaṁ avitiṇṇakaṅkhaṁ. [141]

Alaṅkato ce pi samaṁ careyya,

santo danto niyato brahmacārī,
(but) is peaceful, trained, settled, spiritual,
sabbesu bhūtesu nidhāya daṇḍaṁ,
and has put aside the stick 2 towards all beings,
so brāhmaṇo so samaṇo sa bhikkhu. [142]
he is a brahmin, an ascetic, a monastic.
Hirīnisedho puriso koci lokasmi’ vijjati,
Whatever person in the world is found restrained by conscience,
yo nindaṁ appabodhati, asso bhadro kasām-iva. [143]
and is aware of his fault, is like a good horse that is (restrained) by a whip.
Asso yathā bhadro kasāniviṭṭho,
Like a good horse restrained by the whip,
ātāpino saṁvegino bhavātha.

Saddhāya sīlena ca vīriyena ca,
Having faith, virtue and energy,
samādhinā Dhammavinicchayena ca.
concentration and investigation of the Dhamma.
