PTS cs 19 ‘Venerable Nāgasena, those two qualities of the crow that you say he ought to take, which are they?’
‘Just, O king, as the crow goes about full of apprehension and suspicion, PTS vp Pali 373 always on watch and guard; just so, O king, should the strenuous Bhikshu, earnest in effort, go about full of apprehension and suspicion, always on watch and guard, PTS vp En 292 in full self-possession, with his senses under control. This, O king, is the first of the qualities of the crow he ought to have.
PTS cs 20 ‘And again, O king, as the crow, whatever food he catches sight of, eats it, sharing with his kind; just so, O king, should the strenuous Bhikshu, earnest in effort, never omit to share with virtuous co-religionists, and that without distinction of person or deliberation as to quantity, whatever lawful gifts he may have lawfully received, down even to the contents of his begging-bowl. This, O king, is the second of the qualities of the crow he ought to have. For it was said, O king, by Sāriputta, the Elder, the Commander of the Faith:
“Whate’er they may present to me, austere in life,
All that, just as it comes, do I divide
With all, and I myself then take my food.”’
