Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
He who performs the vow (of studentship) shall constantly subsist on alms, (but) not eat the food of one (person only); the subsistence of a student on begged food is declared to be equal (in merit) to fasting.
