At that time the monastics of other religions had white beds, black floors, and red ocher walls. Many people went to see their beds. “I allow the colors white, black, and red ocher in the dwellings.” The white color did not adhere to the rough walls. “I allow you to apply balls of husk, smooth with a trowel, and then apply the white color.” The white color still did not adhere. “I allow you to apply soft clay, smooth with a trowel, and then apply the white color.” The white color still did not adhere. “I allow sap and flour paste.” The red ocher did not adhere to the rough walls. “I allow you to apply balls of husk, smooth with a trowel, and then apply the red ocher.” The red ocher still did not adhere. “I allow you to apply clay mixed with bran, smooth with a trowel, and then apply the red ocher.” The red ocher still did not adhere. “I allow mustard powder and beeswax.” It was too thick. “I allow you to wipe it off with a cloth.”
