Sanskrit Text

नीवारमूलेङ्गुदशाकवृत्तिः; सुसंयतात्माग्निकार्येष्वचोद्यः वने वसन्नतिथिष्वप्रमत्तो; धुरंधरः पुण्यकृदेष तापसः

English Translation

The ascetic, who lives on rice growing wild and roots and vegetables, who has his soul under control, who is ever careful if his fire (that it may not be extinguished), who living in the forest is not indifferent to his guests, is considered to be holy and the foremost of his brotherhood.
