[759] **Refraining from occasions for adornment, a speaker of truth** (vibhūsanaṭṭhānā virato saccavādī): **Adornment** (vibhūsā) — there are two kinds of adornment: there is the adornment of the householder, and there is the adornment of one gone forth from home.
What is the adornment of the householder? Hair and beard, garlands and scents and unguents, ornaments and jewelry, garments, finery, and headwraps; rubbing with powders, massaging, bathing, kneading; a mirror, collyrium, garlands and unguents, face-powder, face-cream, wristbands, topknot-bands; a staff, an ornamental tube, a sword, a parasol, sandals, a turban, a yak-tail whisk; white garments, long and short — such as this is the adornment of the householder.
What is the adornment of one gone forth from home? Adorning the robe, adorning the bowl, adorning the lodging (senāsana); the adorning, the embellishing, the sporting with, the dallying with, the greediness for, the state of greed for, the vanity, the personal vanity regarding this putrid body or regarding the external requisites — this is the adornment of one gone forth from home.
**A speaker of truth**: that Paccekasambuddha is a speaker of truth, an adherent of truth, trustworthy, reliable, [no deceiver] of the world. He is abstaining from occasions for adornment, refraining from them, gone out from them, released from them, freed from them, detached from them; he dwells with a mind rid of boundaries. Therefore: refraining from occasions for adornment, a speaker of truth. One should wander alone, like a rhinoceros horn. Hence that Paccekasambuddha said:
Finding no satisfaction in amusement, delight,
and sensual pleasure in the world, without regard for them,
refraining from occasions for adornment, a speaker of truth,
one should wander alone, like a rhinoceros horn.
