Like they’re struck by a sword, like their head was on fire, a mendicant should wander mindful, to give up desire for rebirth.
“Sattiyā viya omaṭṭho, ḍayhamānova matthake; Bhavarāgappahānāya, sato bhikkhu paribbaje”ti. … Vaḍḍhamāno thero … vaggo catuttho.

Gahvaratīriyo suppiyo, sopāko ceva posiyo; Sāmaññakāni kumāputto, kumāputtasahāyako; Gavampati tissatthero, vaḍḍhamāno mahāyasoti.
