Anikkasavo kasavam
Yo vattham paridahessati
Apeto damasaccena
Na so kasavam arahati.
Yo ca vantakasavassa
Silensu susamahito
Upeto damasaccena
Sa ve kasavam arahati.
Whosoever, not freed from blemish, lacking in self-restraint and truth, should don the yellow robe he is not worthy of it.
He who has thrown away all impurities, firm-fixed in morals, possessed of self-control and truth, is indeed worthy of the yellow robe.
Story
Once the people on a majority vote gave a high price robe to Venerable Devadatta, in preference to Venerable Sariputta, the chief disciple of the Buddha. Some monks, seeing him wearing it, commended that he was not worthy of it. Buddha then pointed out that in his previous life he had done likewise and explained who was worthy of wearing the yellow robe of the holy disciples.
