Whenever an Indian bhikṣu travels, he must carry a pewter staff (khakkhara). Carrying the staff has twenty-five deportments. Whenever he reaches a room, it must not touch the ground, but must be hung upon a wall hook. Hence it is called hanging the staff. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3.169) - [Next: 3.171](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3.171) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127~en-mt.3.170) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3.170](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3.170) · Pramāṇa
