Furthermore, the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra says: The Peacock Bodhisattva explained the method of subduing the mind (damana) to the assembly of devas: "Whether householder or renunciant, whether old or young, if one's subjugation is appropriate, one is adorned by this. As a renunciant initially subdues himself by means of the kāṣāya robe, he should practice seven matters: First, in accordance with the law of that land, he accepts rag robes—garments discarded by householders. If in a cemetery there are garments of the dead, those pressed beneath a corpse should not be taken; if in a cemetery one obtains tattered garments, one should accept and use them. This is called the method of subverting defilements through the kāṣāya robe.
