(This kāṣāya robe takes its name from its color; below it says it is dyed into a kāṣāya color, and among tastes there is a kāṣāya \[astringent\] taste. If judged by the translations in this land, they are generically called bedding/coverings \[woju\]; that is, among the thirty \[niḥsargika-pāyattika rules\], 'bedding' is the collective name for the three robes, as found in the text.) The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya states: "It is permitted to make it by cutting with a knife, so that the śramaṇa's robe will not be plundered by robbers and thieves. One should make an antarvāsaka to wear next to the body; the uttarāsaṅga and saṃghāṭī are worn when entering villages." However, for these three names, the various vinayas have no direct translation. Here they are translated by their meaning. The Hui shang pusa jing states: "The five-strip robe is called the inner robe, the seven-strip robe is called the upper robe, and the great robe is called the robe for assembly gatherings." There are various translations according to meaning: The great robe is called the composite robe, because of its large number of strips; if classified by its function, it is called the robe for entering royal palaces and villages. The seven-strip robe is called the medium-value robe; by function it is the robe for entering the community. The five-strip robe is called the lower robe; by function it is the robe for walking the path and performing miscellaneous chores within the monastery grounds. If classified by the number of strips, they are designated nineteen, seventeen, down to nine strips, seven strips, five strips, and so forth. In the Vinaya there are no designations of five, seven, or nine; it only says antarvāsaka up to saṃghāṭī; people name them seven- or nine-strip robes. In terms of their general characteristics, there is also the unsegmented (mān) saṃghāṭī; thus according to one's capacity they are prepared, and according to use they are divided into three. They are not without a primary overall standard. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3.20) - [Next: 3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3.22) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804~en-mt.3.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3.21) · Pramāṇa
