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