Kesakambalo, bhikkhave, sīte sīto, uṇhe uṇho, dubbaṇṇo duggandho dukkhasamphasso’’ti (a. ni. 3.138). > Ajita was his name. He wears a hair-blanket, hence he is 'Kesakambala' ('Hair-blanket'). Joining the two names together in this way, he is called Ajita Kesakambala. Therein, a 'hair-blanket' means a blanket made from human hair. There is no garment worse than that. As he said: 'Just as, bhikkhus, of all woven garments, a hair-blanket is declared to be the worst of them. A hair-blanket, bhikkhus, is cold in the cold, hot in the heat, ugly, foul-smelling, and unpleasant to the touch' (Aṅguttara Nikāya 3.138). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.151-152\_4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.2.151-152_4) - [Next: 2.154](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.2.154) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini~en-mt.2.153) — English, machine translation ## Commentaries (2) - [Līnatthappakāsinī (Dīghanikāya-ṭīkā)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini!linatthappakasini.2.153) — Dhammapāla, Pāli - [Sādhuvilāsinī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini!sadhuvilasini.2.153) — Ñāṇābhivaṃsa 1790, Pāli ## Linked texts (1) - [Sāmaññaphalasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.2.4.1) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.2.153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.2.153) · Pramāṇa
