Dhammapada · 1.9
Anikkasāvo kāsāvaṃ, yo vatthaṃ paridahissati;Apeto damasaccena, na so kāsāvamarahati.
Anikkasavo kasavam, yo vattham paridahissati; Apeto damasaccena, na so kasavamarahati.
Whoever, while still impure, lacking self-restraint and truthfulness, would put on the ochre robe — that person does not deserve the robe.
