汝等比丘，当自摩头，已舍饰好，著坏色衣，执持应器，以乞自活，自见如是。
You and other Bhikṣus, should personally scrape (i.e. shave) your heads, and already having abandoned adornments for beautification, wear spoilt coloured robes (i.e. kaṣāyas), firmly hold begging vessels, with them beg for personal survival, personally seeing yourselves doing thus.
若起憍慢，当疾灭之。增长憍慢，尚非世俗白衣所宜，何况出家入道之人，为解脱故，自降其身而行乞耶。
If giving rise to arrogance, you should swiftly eliminate it. To increase in arrogance, is also not that for worldly white-robed laypersons appropriate, moreover for people who have left the household life to enter the path, for liberation thus, who should personally lower their bodies and practise begging for alms.
