Verse 108.26
यतयायी यतसेय्यो अस्या यतसंकल्प ध्यायि अप्रमत्तो ।
अध्यायरतो समाहितो एको संतुषितो तम् आहु भिक्षुं ॥ २६ ॥
yatayāyī yataseyyo asyā yatasaṃkalpa dhyāyi apramatto |
adhyāyarato samāhito eko saṃtuṣito tam āhu bhikṣuṃ || 26 ||
He should be restrained as he moves, restrained as he lies down. He should be restrained of purpose as he meditates diligently. He who takes joy in study, is concentrated, and content to be alone—him do they call a monk. (26)
