The commentators on the Kātyāyana Śrauta Sūtra and the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa³ suggest that a linen garment, or one thrice soaked in ghee, or one made of the \*tṛpā\* or of the \*triparṇa\* plant, is meant: it is doubtful whether the sense was known even to the author of the Brāhmaṇa himself. Goldstücker’s⁴ rendering of the word is ‘silken garment,’ which Eggeling⁵ is inclined to accept.⁶ - [Previous: v1.c3.s17.221](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.221) - [Next: v1.c3.s17.223](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.223) - [Up: v1.c3.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.222](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.222) · Pramāṇa
