Translation
The sannyāsī, completely satisfied in the self, should live on alms begged from door to door. Not being dependent on any person or any place, he should always be a friendly well-wisher to all living beings and be a peaceful, unalloyed devotee of Nārāyaṇa. In this way he should move from one place to another.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Surrendered to Nārāyaṇa, the sannyāsī, completely satisfied in the self, not dependent on any person or any place, a well-wisher to all living beings, and peaceful, he should move about alone.
