The Behavior of a Perfect Person
87
TRANSLATION
Śrī Nārada Muni said: A person able to cultivate spiritual knowledge should renounce all material connections, and merely keeping the body inhabitable, he should travel from one place to another, passing only one night in each village. In this way, without dependence in regard to the needs of the body, the sannyāsī should travel all over the world.

बिभृयाव् यद्यसौ वासः कौपीनाञ्छादनं परम् । त्यक्तं न लिङ्गाद् दण्डादेत्यत् किञ्चिदनापादि ॥ २ ॥
bibhṛyād yady asau vāsaḥ kaupīnācchādanam param tyaktam na liṅgād daṇḍāder anyat kiñcid anāpadi
bibhṛyāt —one should use;  yadi —if;  asau —a person in the renounced order;  vāsaḥ —a garment or covering;  kaupīna —a loincloth (just to cover the private parts);  ācchādanam —for covering;  param —that much only;  tyaktam —given up;  na —not;  liṅgāt —than the distinguishing marks of a  sannyāsī ;  daṇḍa-ādeḥ —like the rod ( tridaṇḍa );  anyat —other;  kiñcit —anything;  anāpadi —in ordinary undisturbed times.
TRANSLATION
A person in the renounced order of life may try to avoid even a dress to cover himself. If he wears anything at all, it should be only a loincloth, and when there is no necessity, a  sannyāsī  should not even accept a  daṇḍa . A  sannyāsī  should avoid carrying anything but a  daṇḍa  and  kamaṇḍalu .
