(20) > If the teacher speaks little or much, he should never grow impatient; but an intelligent pupil should rise from his seat and answer (the teacher's) call modestly and attentively. (21) > He should never ask a question when sitting on his stool or his bed, but rising from his seat and coming near, he should ask him with folded hands. (22) > When a pupil who observes the above rules of conduct, questions the teacher about the sacred text, its meaning, or both, he should deliver it according to tradition. (23) > A monk should avoid untruth, nor should he speak positively (about future things, his plans, &c.); he should avoid sinful speech, and always keep free from deceit. (24) > He should not tell anything sinful or meaningless or hurtful, neither for his own sake nor for anybody else's, nor without such a motive. (25). > In barbers' shops or houses, on the ground separating two houses, or on the highway a single monk should not stand with a single woman, nor should he converse with her. (26) > Any instruction the wise ones may give me in a kind or a rough way, I shall devotedly accept, thinking that it is for my benefit. (27) > (The teacher's) instruction, his manner of giving it, and his blaming evil acts are considered blissful by the intelligent, but hateful by the bad monk.
