1.47

First, the ritual of consecration. One must follow the proper sequence, consecrating the five-strip robe first (according to the text of the Sarvāstivāda-vinaya): "Venerable One, with focused mind, be mindful! I, the bhikṣu so-and-so, receive this antarvāsaka, a five-strip robe, one long and one short, to maintain as a cut-and-pieced robe. (Spoken three times. Modify appropriately for patch-leaves or folded leaves.)" For the middle robe, one says: "...receive this uttarāsaṅga, a seven-strip robe, two long and one short, to maintain as a cut-and-pieced robe." For the great robe, one says: "...receive this saṅghāṭī, a twenty-five-strip robe, four long and one short, to maintain as a cut-and-pieced robe." The rest of the words are the same as above.
