Text 3] The Behavior of a Perfect Person 87
TRANSLATION
Sri Narada Muni said: A person able to cultivate spiritual knowl-
edge should renounce all material connections, and merely keep-
ing the body inhabitable, he should travel from one place to
another, passing only one night in each village. In this way, with-
out dependence in regard to the needs of the body, the sannyasi
should travel all over the world.

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 sannyasi should not
even accept a danda. A sannyasi should avoid carrying anything
but a danda and kamandalu.
