Fourth, explaining mending and washing. The Sarvāstivāda-vinaya states: "Robes must always be clean and in accordance with the Dharma; otherwise, humans and non-humans will reprimand you." The Samantapāsādikā states: "For the great robe and seven-strip robe, if the tear on the wide side is within eight finger-breadths and on the long side within one span, one does not lose the receipt [of the robe]. For the five-strip robe, if the tear on the wide side is within four finger-breadths and on the long side within one span, one does not lose it; if it is torn elsewhere to the size of a little fingernail, one loses the receipt. After mending it, one undertakes it again." The Sarvāstivāda-vinayavibhāṣā states: "If the hem is severed, one loses the receipt." The Samantapāsādikā states: "If the kāṣāya is too large, reduce it; if it is too small, patch it with cloth; if it is washed, if the color is deepened, or if the color fades or is redyed, in all such cases one does not lose the receipt," and so forth.
