The Sengshilüe states: "Question: What does the color of the black robes (zīyī) look like? Answer: Purple, yet light black. The Kaogongji states: 'Dipping three times makes it light red (xūn); dipping five times makes it dark red (zōu); dipping seven times makes it zī (blackish).' Thus we know that zī originally derives from crimson bird-head color, which is a reddish purple. Therefore, when the nun Jingxiu of the Liang saw the robes of the noble assembly, they were like ripe mulberries. This is a light reddish deep black." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.85) - [Next: 1.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.87) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127~en-mt.1.86) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.86) · Pramāṇa
