[2342] He who, not yet free of the stain (kasāva), would don the ochre-dyed cloth (kāsāva), devoid of self-control (dama) and truthfulness (sacca) — he is not worthy of the ochre robe. [Siam Raṭṭha edition footnotes: ¹ Burmese ed.: "sabbe ca." ² Burmese ed.: "ninnaduṃ." ³ Sinhalese and European eds.: "cuṇṇaṃ." ⁴ Burmese ed.: "vadhissametanti." ⁵ Sinhalese and European eds.: "paridahessati."] But he who has vomited out the stain, well established in virtues (sīla), endowed with self-control and truthfulness — he indeed is worthy of the ochre robe.
