Sūtra Translation

SūtraA.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada· EN

A saintly mendicant should not even collect foodstuffs to eat later in the same day or the next day. If he disregards this injunction and like the honeybee collects more and more delicious foodstuffs, that which he has collected will indeed ruin him.
