But one who is self-cleansed of stain,
in moral conduct firmly set,
having restraint and truthfulness
is fit for the stainless robe.
-Dhammapada Verse 10
Explanation: Whoever dons the 'stained cloth', being free of defilements, who is well conducted and tranquil within, having emotions under control and aware of reality, such a person is worthy of the sacred 'stained cloth'.
