Shloka 21
अरण्यवृत्ति-वैराग्योपदेशः | Forest Discipline and the Program of Non-Attachment
अल्पं वास्वादु वा भोज्यं पूर्वालाभेन जातुचित् । अन्येष्वपि चरेँल्लाभमलाभे सप्त पूरयन्
alpaṁ vā svādu vā bhojyaṁ pūrvālābhena jātucit | anyeṣv api carel lābham alābhe sapta pūrayan ||
尤提士提罗说道：“无论我所得之食是少是美，我都将坦然受之，不再追念先前未得之物。若在一家不得施食，我便转往他家；若得之，便已足够。若仍不得，我将依次至七家而止，不入第八家。”
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Practice contentment and restraint: accept whatever alms comes without craving for better food, and set a disciplined limit (seven houses) to prevent greed, harassment of householders, and dependence.
Yudhiṣṭhira describes a rule of conduct for seeking alms: he will not lament earlier failure, will try other houses if refused, and will stop after approaching seven houses, avoiding an eighth.
