On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c8.s5.9

v1.c8.s5.9

The fourth kind of stuff mentioned as used for clothing material is called by Yuan-chuang Ho-la-li (褐刺納). There does not seem to be any known Sanskrit word with which this can be identified. As Yuan-chuang spells foreign words the three characters may stand for Ral, a Tibetan word meaning "goat's hair", from Ra, a goat. This Ho-la-li or Ral is also probably the Lo-i (羅衣) or "Lo (Ra) clothes" of other Buddhist texts. In Sanskrit also we find rallaka which denotes a wild animal and a stuff made from its hair, and rallaka-kambala which is a fine woollen cloth.
