vadam viviham samecca loe
sahie khey'aige ya koviy'appa panne abhibhu ya savva-damsi
uvasante avihedae, sa bhikkhu. Knowing doctrines different in the world,
Wishing well, griefless, and learned; Wise, conquering, and perceiving everything,
Tranquil and unoffensive, he is indeed the ideal monk. asippa-jivi agihe amitte
ji'indie savvao vippamukke anu-kkasai lahu-appa-bhakkhe
cecca giham egacare, sa bhikkhu. Not living on craft, without house and friends,
Subduing his senses, free from ties all; With passions tenuous, eating light and little, Houseless and living alone, he is indeed the ideal
monk.
Sa-Bhikkhu (Dasavealiyam X)
nikkhamma-m-anaya buddha-vayane
niccam citta-samahio havejja itthina vasam na yavi gacche,
vantam no padiyayai (je), sa bhikkhu. Abiding by the Law, who renounces the world, Contemplates ever on the words of the
Enlightened One; And avoiding all women, swallows not back
The vomit, he is indeed the ideal monk. pudhavim na khane (na), khanavae,
sioyaga na pie (na) piyavae, aganim sattham jaha su-nisiyam
tam na jale na jalavae (je), sa bhikkhu. Who digs not the earth, nor makes others dig,
Drinks not water cold, nor makes other drink; Kindles not fire, the weapon sharp,
Nor gets it kindled, he is indeed the ideal monk.
