"Bhikkhus, this is certainly a type of gain, namely, (378) being a forest-dweller, (379) being one who lives on food acquired on alms round, (380) being a wearer of rag robes, (381) having just three robes, [n.193] These observances are ascetic practices (dhutaṅga) permitted by the Buddha. (382) being a speaker on the Dhamma, (383) being an upholder of the discipline, (384) great learning, (385) long-standing, (386) having proper deportment, (387) the acquisition of a retinue, (388) having a large retinue, (389) coming from a good family, (390) being handsome, (391) being an excellent speaker, (392) having few desires, (393) having good health."
