[229] "Bhikkhus, a cowherd possessed of eleven factors is incapable of maintaining a herd of cattle and making it prosper. What eleven? Here, bhikkhus, a cowherd is not a knower of forms; is not skilled in characteristics; does not pick out flies' eggs; does not dress wounds; does not make smoke; does not know the ford; does not know what has been drunk; does not know the road; is not skilled in pastures; is one who milks dry without leaving a remainder; and does not honor with special honor those bulls who are the fathers of the herd and the leaders of the herd. Possessed of these eleven factors, bhikkhus, a cowherd is incapable of maintaining a herd of cattle and making it prosper.
