The nineteenth mark introduces a word important to the rules of the renunciant's life: prakṛta — “come about of itself”, what has arrived without your seeking.
In the books on asceticism this is a whole notion: yadṛcchā-lābha, “what has turned up”. Not to beg, not to hoard, not to reject what is served.
Note the verse's construction: two negations and one affirmation. He is not revolted — that is, he makes no virtue out of refusal. He does not solicit — does not pull things toward himself. And meanwhile he eats.
This is the third verse in a row on food and partaking (2.54, 2.55, 2.60), and together they fold into a rule: accept what is served, neither choosing nor refusing for show.
Strictly speaking, this is the wanderer's whole rule of life — in a single line.
