Its exact nature is not described, but as the king in the ritual set forth in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa² puts on first an undergarment, then a garment, and finally an upper garment, it presumably denotes some sort of cloak or mantle. - [Previous: v1.c3.322](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.322) - [Next: v1.c3.324](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.324) - [Up: v1.c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.323](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.323) · Pramāṇa
