3.15

bhikṣā-śataṃ tad api nīrasam eka-bāraṃ
śayyā ca bhūḥ parijano nija-deha-mātram |
vastraṃ viśīrṇa-śata-khaṇḍa-mayī ca kanthā
hā hā tathāpi viṣayā na parityajanti ||

For food, only a few begged alms, and that too dry and eaten once a day;
for a bed, the bare ground; for retinue, one's own body alone;
for clothing, a ragged cloak made of a hundred tattered shreds;
alas, alas! Even so, sense objects do not abandon us!
