Jaina Sutras, Part II (SBE45): Uttarâdhyayana: First Lecture. On Discipline

He should not (sit) by the side of the teacher, nor before him, nor behind him; he should not touch (the teacher's) thigh with his own, nor answer his call from the couch. (18) A well-behaved monk should not sit on his hams 2, p. 4 nor cross his arms 1, nor stretch out his legs, nor stand (too) close to his teacher. (19) If spoken to by the superior, he should never remain silent, but should consider it as a favour; asking for his command 2, he should always politely approach his teacher. (20) If the teacher speaks little or much, he should never grow impatient; but an intelligent pupil should rise from his seat and answer (the teacher's) call modestly and attentively. (21) He should never ask a question when sitting on his stool or his bed, but rising from his seat 3 and coming near, he should ask him with folded hands. (22) When a pupil who observes the above rules of conduct, questions the teacher about the sacred text, its meaning, or both, he should deliver it according to tradition. (23) A monk should avoid untruth, nor should he speak positively (about future things, his plans, &c.); he should avoid sinful speech, and always keep free from deceit. (24) He should not tell anything sinful or meaningless 4 p. 5 or hurtful, neither for his own sake nor for anybody else's, nor without such a motive. (25). In barbers' shops 1 or houses, on the ground separating two houses, or on the highway a single monk should not stand with a single woman, nor should he converse with her. (26)
