eating only almsfood …

wearing rag robes …

having just three robes …

teaching Dhamma …

memorizing the monastic law …

being very learned …

being respected …

being well-presented …

having a following …

having a large following …

coming from a good family …

being handsome …

being one who enunciates well …

having few wishes …

being healthy.”
