His hair, nails, and beard being clipped, carrying an alms-bowl, a staff, and a water-pot, let him continually wander about, controlling himself and not hurting any creature.
His vessels shall not be made of metal, they shall be free from fractures; it is ordained that they shall be cleansed with water, like (the cups, called) Kamasa, at a sacrifice.
अलाबुं दारुपात्रं च मृण्मयं वैदलं तथा । एताणि यतिपात्राणि मनुः स्वायम्भुवोऽब्रवीत् ॥ ५४ ॥
A gourd, a wooden bowl, an earthen (dish), or one made of split cane, Manu, the son of Svayambhu, has declared (to be) vessels (suitable) for an ascetic.
एककालं चरेद् भैक्षं न प्रसज्जेत विस्तरे । भैक्षे प्रसक्तो हि यतिर्विषयेष्वपि सज्जति ॥ ५५ ॥
Let him go to beg once (a day), let him not be eager to obtain a large quantity (of alms); for an ascetic who eagerly seeks alms, attaches himself also to sensual enjoyments.
