Tissa (3rd)Tissattheragāthā

A shaven one wrapped in the outer robe“Bahū sapatte labhati, gets many enemiesmuṇḍo saṅghāṭipāruto; when they receive food and drink,Lābhī annassa pānassa, clothes and bedding.vatthassa sayanassa ca.

Knowing this danger,Etamādīnavaṁ ñatvā, this great fear in honors,sakkāresu mahabbhayaṁ; a mendicant should wander mindful,Appalābho anavassuto, with few possessions, not festering.sato bhikkhu paribbaje”ti.
