Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda
TRANSLATION
If the sannyāsī desires to wear something besides a mere kaupīna, he may use another cloth around his waist and hips to cover the kaupīna. Otherwise, if there is no emergency, he should not accept anything besides his daṇḍa and waterpot.
PURPORT
A sannyāsī attracted to material possessions will spoil his worship of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
