Fourth, manufacture. Its Dharma colour is the same as the kāṣāya. The Sarvāstivāda-vinaya: "A new one is two layers; an old one is four layers. It must not be made single-layered." The Vinaya says: "A border should be attached." The Pañcavargika-vinaya: "One must patch the four corners." The Dharmaguptaka-vinaya: "When making a new one, one must patch it with a piece of old cloth one span in length and breadth. (Also following one Buddha-span, two chi square. If one takes possession of it without patching, one commits a naiḥsargika-prāyaścittika offence. If one obtains one that is already made new, or if the fabric itself has already been worn once on the body, then it does not need patching.)" Furthermore, one must not "fail to cut it and wholly adopt the increased measure"; this is the false practice of the Vajjī monks.
