90.32

"If one has no mind for recitation,
No meditation, and no exhaustion of outflows,
Though having the form of a bhikṣu,
Such a one is not a bhikṣu.
Better to eat snake venom and poisonous insects,
As well as molten gold and the like,
Than ever to break the prohibitive precepts
And eat the food and drink of the Saṃgha."
