Now it is called the "intermediate robe": below the great robe and above the five-strip robe, it is called the intermediate robe; it is also called the "intermediate wrapper," because it wraps the body and occupies the middle. The "lower robe" is the five-strip robe, because it is lowermost beneath this. This re-articulates the rules of the three robes. Furthermore, robes have intermediate and lower, hence they are called the intermediate and lower robes. If so, why is there no upper robe \[mentioned here\]? One clearly knows that the discussion here is about the three robes, and the upper robe is precisely the saṃghāṭī. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.35) - [Next: 8.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.37) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.8.36) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.36) · Pramāṇa
