Akaranga Sutra 20

Book II, Lecture 12

JacobiEnglish
If a monk or a nun see various colours (or forms), viz. in wreaths, dressed images, dolls, clothes, woodwork, plastering, paintings, jewelry, ivory-work, strings, leaf-cutting, they should not for the sake of pleasing the eye resolve to go where they will see various colours (or forms). All that has been said
in the last chapter with regard to sounds should be repeated here with regard to colours (or forms); only the passages on music are to be omitted.
