74.1.4

jahā suṇī pūikaṇṇī | nikkasijjai savvaso /
evaṃ dussīlapaḍiṇīe | muharī nikkasijjaī ||4||

I shall explain in due order the discipline of a houseless monk, who has got rid of all worldly ties. Listen to me. (1)
A monk who, on receiving an order from his superior, walks up to him, watching his nods and motions, is called well-behaved. (2)
But a monk who, on receiving an order from his superior, does not walk up to him, being insubordinate and inattentive, is called ill-behaved. (3)
As a bitch with sore ears is driven away everywhere, thus a bad, insubordinate, and talkative (pupil) is turned out. (4)
As a pig leaves a trough filled with grain to feed on faeces, so a brute (of a man) turns away from virtue, and takes to evil ways. (5)
Hearing a man thus compared to a dog and a pig, he who desires his own welfare, should adhere to good conduct. (6)
Therefore be eager for discipline, that you may acquire righteousness; a son of the wise, who desires liberation, will not be turned away from anywhere. (7)
One should always be meek, and not be talkative in the presence of the wise; one should acquire valuable knowledge, and avoid what is worthless. (8)
When reprimanded a wise man should not be angry, but he should be of a forbearing mood; he should not associate, laugh, and play with mean men. (9)
He should do nothing mean, nor talk much; but after having learned his lesson, he should meditate by himself. (10)

kaṇakuṇḍagaṃ caittāṇaṃ | viṭhaṃ bhuṃjai sūyare /
evaṃ sīlaṃ caittāṇaṃ | dussīle ramaī mie ||5||
