As long as there is desire for worldly fame, so long is there desire for wealth; as long as there is desire for wealth, ||*1
so long is there desire for worldly fame. Having understood desire for worldly fame and desire for wealth, one should go by ||*2
the cow-path; one should not go by the highway. By Yājñavalkya, ||*3
the arhat seer, it was said: ||*4
Namely: ||*5
Just as pigeons and partridges, or cows, graze here for their morning meal,
so the sage, having entered upon the begging round, should neither chatter nor become agitated.
Whoever would seek alms by [proper] search, pure with respect to the five recipients,
for him gain is well obtained, freed from the fault of violence.
One should reflect upon the path connected with form, and upon the occurrence of retribution,
and the fruition of anger and the rest, of oneself and of another.
Thus he is perfected, enlightened... does not come again to this state; so I say.
The chapter named Yājñavalkya. ||12
