Herein, craft in house life consists in such work as that of a jeweller or goldsmith, which is far from what is [morally] unprofitable since it is devoid of injury of other breathing things, and it is a good omen since it conduces to well-being in this world.

Craft in homelessness consists in work on the monk's requisites such as the laying-out and sewing of robes, etc., which is given in detail here and there in the way beginning Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu is clever in any great or little task for his companions in the Divine Life' (cf. D. iii. 267), of which it is said ' This is a helpful idea ' (D. iii. 267). That too should be understood as a good omen since it brings welfare and pleasure in both worlds alike to oneself and to others.
