14 dukkaraṃ khalu bho niccaṃ | aṇagārassa bhikkhuṇo /
savvaṃ se jāiyaṃ hoi | natthi kiṃci ajāiyaṃ ||28||

It will always cause difficulties to a houseless monk to get everything by begging, and nothing without begging. (28)
The hand (of the giver) is not always kindly stretched out to a monk when he is on his begging tour; but he should not think that it would be better to live as a householder. (29)
