A Nirgrantha who has entered the order, who has learned the Law, who has received religious discipline, and who has obtained the benefit of Bôdhi which is difficult to obtain, may perhaps afterwards begin to live as he likes. (1)
(He will say:) I have a good bed and wherewithal to cover me; I obtain food and drink; I know everything that comes to pass, friend; why then should I study, sir? (2)
He who, after entering the order, always sleeps, eats, and drinks as much as he likes, and lives comfortably, is called a bad Sramana. (3)
The sinner who despises the learning and discipline which his preceptor and teachers have taught him, is called a bad Sramana. (4)
He who does not, as he should, strive to please his preceptor and teachers, and does not, in his arrogance, treat them with respect, is called a bad Sramana. (5)
He who hurts living beings, seeds, and sprouts, who does not control himself, though he believes himself well-controlled, is called a bad Sramana. (6)
He who uses a bed, a plank, a chair, a seat, or his duster, without having well wiped these things, is called a bad Sramana. (7)
He who walks with great haste and without care, being overbearing and fierce, is called a bad Sramana. (8)
He who carelessly inspects things, throwing down his duster at random, not being attentive to the inspection of things, is called a bad Sramana. (9)
He who carelessly inspects things, his attention being absorbed by what he hears, who always slights his teachers, is called a bad Sramana. (to)
He who is deceitful, talkative, arrogant, greedy, who does not control himself, nor share (his food, &c. with those who are in want), and is not of an amiable disposition, is called a bad Sramana. (11)
He who is a controversialist, and ill-behaved, who perverts the truth, and delights in quarrels and contentions, is called a bad Sramana. (12)
He who sits down on a weak, shaking seat wherever he lists, and is not careful in sitting down, is called a bad Sramana. (13)
He who sleeps with dusty feet and does not inspect his couch, being careless about his bed, is called a bad Sramana. (14)
He who eats milk, curds, and other things produced from milk, and does not practise austerities, is called a bad Sramana. (15)
He who eats after sunset, and when admonished, makes an angry reply, is called a bad Sramana. (16)
He who leaves his own teacher, and follows heretical ones, who continuously changes his school, being of a bad disposition, is called a bad Sramana. (17)
He who has left his own house, and busies himself in another's house, who lives by fortune-telling, is called a bad Sramana. (18)
He who eats the food of his relations, and does not like living by alms, who reposes on the seat of the householder, is called a bad Sramana. (19)
Such a monk, who, like the heretics, does not protect himself from sins, who though having the appearance (of a monk) is the lowest among his worthy brethren, is despised in this world like poison; he is nobody in this world and in that beyond. (20)
But he who always avoids these sins, and is pious amongst his brethren, is welcomed in this world like nectar; he conquers this world and the next. (21)
Thus I say.

In the town of Kâmpilya there was a king, named Sañgaya, who possessed numerous troops and war-chariots; once he went a-hunting. (1)
He was surrounded on all sides by a large host of horses, elephants, chariots, and footmen. (2)
He chased the deer on horseback in the Kêsara-park of Kâmpilya; and intent on his sport he killed there the frightened deer. (3)
Now in the Kêsara-park there was a houseless ascetic intent on sacred study and meditating on the Law. (4)
Annihilating sinful inclinations, he meditated in the Asphôta-bower. But the king killed the deer that fled to him. (5)
Now the king on horseback came quickly there; he saw the killed deer and saw the monk there. (6)
The king in his consternation (thought) 'I had nearly hurt the monk; ill-fated and cruel me that is mad for the sport.' (7)
Having dismissed his horse, the king bowed respectfully to the monk's feet (saying), 'Forgive me this, Reverend sir.' (8)
But the venerable monk, being plunged in silent meditation, made no reply to the king, who, therefore, was seized with fear. (9)
'I am Sañgaya; answer me, Reverend sir; a monk might by the fire of his wrath reduce millions of men to ashes.' (10)
'Be without fear, O king; but grant safety to others also; in this transient world of living beings, why are you addicted to cruelty? (11)
'As you must, of necessity, one day part with everything, in this transient world of living beings, why do you cling to kingly power? (12)

'Transient like a stroke of lightning are life and beauty, which you love so much; you do not comprehend what will benefit you in the next life. (13)
'Wives and children, friends and relations, all are dependent on a man during his life; but they will not follow him in death. (14)
'The sons, in great sorrow, will remove the corpse of their father (to the cemetery); and so will parents do with their sons and relations; O king, do penance! (15)
'O king, other men, glad, and pleased, and well attired, will enjoy the riches (the deceased) had amassed, and will dally with the wives he had so well guarded. (16)
'And whatever actions he has done, good or wicked ones, with their Karman he will depart to his next existence.' (17)
Then the king was taught the Law by this monk, and was filled with a great desire for purity, and disregard of worldly objects. (18)
Sañgaya gave up his kingly power and adopted the faith of the Ginas in the presence of the venerable monk Gardabhâli. (19)
A Kshattriya, who had abandoned his kingdom and had turned monk, said to him: 'As you look so happy in outward appearance, you must have peace of mind. (20)
'What is your name, to which Gôtra do you belong, and why have you become an ascetic? How do you venerate the enlightened ones, and how did you come to be called a well-behaved (monk)? (21)
"My name is Sañgaya; I belong to the Gôtra of Gôtama; my teacher is Gardabhâli, who is conversant with the sacred lore and good conduct. (22)

"O great sage, the man of limited knowledge talks foolishly on these four heads, viz. the existence of the soul, its non-existence, idolatry, and the inefficiency of knowledge. (23)
"This has been declared by him who is enlightened, wise, liberated, conversant with the sacred lore and good conduct, who is truthful and of right energy. (24)
"Men who commit sins will go to hell; but those who have walked the road of righteousness, will obtain a place in heaven. (25)

"I know all these heresies to be contemptible; I know that there will be a life hereafter, and I know my Self. (27)
"I was an illustrious god in the Mahâprâna heaven, and reached old age as we here would say of a man who is a hundred years old; but in heaven, hundred years consist of as many Mahâpâlîs of Pâlîs. (28)

"A monk should abandon the manifold doctrines (of heretics), and his own fancies, and such deeds as are productive of evil everywhere. One should live up to this wisdom. (30)
"I keep clear of the (superstitious) questions and the spells of laymen, exerting myself day and night (in the true religion). Thinking thus, one should practise austerities. (31)
