न चैव शयने नोर्व्यामुपविष्टो न शब्दवत् ।
न चैैकवस्त्रो न वदन् प्रेक्षतामप्रदाय च ॥
na caiva śayane norvyām upaviṣṭo na śabdavat | na caikavastro na vadan prekṣatām apradāya ca ||
Huwag kumain na nakaupo sa kama, ni nakaupo sa hubad na lupa, ni kumain nang maingay. Huwag kumain na iisang kasuotan lamang ang suot, huwag kumain habang nagsasalita, at huwag kumain nang hindi muna nag-aalay o nagbabahagi ng bahagi sa mga nasa paligid o nanonood.
