[473] "Come, I shall instruct you in the word that pleases me: while you carry on the rule of the kingdom, [you will do] much evil misconduct (duccarita) by body, by speech, and by mind, whereby you will go to a bad destination (duggati). To sustain oneself on almsfood given by others, prepared by others — that is the way of the wise (dhīradhammo)."
