In the quarter of the year comprising the three months Gyeshthamula, Ashadha, and Sravana, the (morning-) inspection is to last six digits (beyond 1/4 Paurushi); in the second quarter, eight; in the third, ten; in the fourth, eight . (16)

A clever monk should divide the night too into four parts, and fulfil his duties (uttaraguna) in all four parts. (17)

In the first Paurushi he should study, in the second he should meditate, in the third he should leave off sleep, and in the fourth he should study again. 08)

When the nakshatra which leads the night has reached the first quarter of the heaven, at dawn he should cease to study. (19)

When a small part of the quarter is left , in which the (leading) nakshatra stands, during that space of time, being considered intermediate (between two) days, a monk should watch. (20)

In the first quarter (of the first Paurushi) he should inspect (and clean) his things, pay his respects to his superior, and then begin to study, not allowing himself to be affected by any pains . (21)

In the (last) quarter of the first Paurushi, after paying his respect to the Guru, a monk should inspect his almsbowl, without, however, performing the Kala-pratikramana . (22)

He should first inspect his mouth-cloth , then his broom , and taking the broom in his hand he should inspect his cloth. (23)

Standing upright he holds his cloth firmly and inspects it first leisurely, then he spreads it, and at last he wipes it. (24)

(He should spread the cloth) without shaking or crushing it, in such a way as to make the folds disappear, and to avoid friction of its parts against each other; he should fold it up six times in length, and nine times in breadth, and then he should remove living beings with his hand (spreading the cloth on the palm of his hand) . (25)

He must avoid want of attention: 1. in beginning his work; 2. in taking up the corners of the cloth; 3. in folding it up; 4. in shaking out the dust; 5. in putting it down (on some other piece of cloth); 6. in sitting upon the haunches . (26)

(One must further avoid) to hold the cloth loosely, or at one corner, or so as to let it flap, or so as to subject it to friction, or so as to shake it in different ways, or if one has made a mistake in the number of foldings (see verse 25) to count (aloud or with the help of the fingers, &c.) (27)

There should be neither too little nor too much of inspection, nor an exchange (of the things to be inspected); this is the right way to do (the inspection), all other methods are wrong:-- (28)

(This is) if one engaged in inspecting his things converses or gossips (with anybody), renounces something , teaches another his lesson, or receives his own lesson from another, (he neglects his inspection). (29)
