If one relies on the Mahāsāṃghika, it says: 'Wound-covering robes, rain-bathing robes, water strainers, two kinds of waistbands, and bedding enter into distribution.' The Mahīśāsaka also says: 'Utensil robes, single-layer garments, body-wrapping robes; as for blankets, they are an alternative name for bedding; undergarments, or śalaka (the Dharmaguptaka calls them nivāsana, which here means 'inner garment', namely śalaka)—these are distributable property.' Judged according to the above, they must be made of pure colors. If they are robes of five patches, the Vinaya text permits their use. Even if they are made from the five primary colors and are distinctly variegated, that is naturally formed in that manner; since they serve as the emblem of the holy Way, they should properly be distributed. If they are garments woven with brocade and patterned damask, they are all judged as below. As for Chinese lapel robes, gowns with long sleeves, open-shoulder vests, shoulder covers with added fasteners over the chest—various clothing of this sort is difficult to describe fully in shape and name, yet all are distributed as light property. Because their substance and appearance diverge from the worldly and their colors and types are different, they are not called garments worn by the laity, and so are allowed within the scope of personal use. Furthermore, bare-shoulder skirts and Chinese robes are Chinese Dharma robes; saṃkakṣikā and shoulder-coverings are the original Indian regulations. Comparing that with this, their forms and appearances are completely different, yet both are judged as light property without the least hesitation. If one comprehensively surveys the shapes and characteristics of garments, none are the original model. Thus in the Mahāsāṃghika, shoulder coverings and saṃkakṣikā are four cubits and two cubits long. For now, we distinguish between the religious and the lay, and therefore permit light and heavy property; if one strictly follows the Vinaya regulations, even the skirts and Chinese robes would be improper (hence the rules for putting on and taking off clothes in the Vinaya are not detailed in this land), just as in the Sarvāstivāda, narrow-sleeved garments, padded double garments, and the like are not permitted to be worn. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1895.2.2) - [Next: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1895.2.4) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1895.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1895~en-mt.2.3) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1895.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1895.2.3) · Pramāṇa
