Verse 64.358
शीलं शुचि निषेवित्वा वर्जति सर्व-अक्षणां ।
न ज्ञातिलाभं एषन्तं शास्ता भिक्षुं प्रशंसति ॥ ३५८ ॥
śīlaṃ śuci niṣevitvā varjati sarva-akṣaṇāṃ |
na jñātilābhaṃ eṣantaṃ śāstā bhikṣuṃ praśaṃsati || 358 ||
By the perfect practice of morality he avoids all inopportune times. The Master does not commend the monk who sets store on birth and possessions. (358)
