Secondly, they should always remain calm and patient. They should never get angry or agitated. This is especially the case in situations of begging for food. They should thus never loose control due to not receiving Bhiksha. Bodily needs or wants are strong but they should always be suppressed and patience demonstrated. Smrutis say: Dhiro Dhairyam Na Hapyeda - ‘Steady or firm people should never loose their patience.’
Finally, they should not allow a female to enter the place or their residence as to do so is contrary to their vow of celibacy. This subject has been discussed in full earlier.
