Ācār. 251a). A young monk of a strong physical constitution will content himself with one only (Āyār. II 96, 4) and an older one may confine himself to two, but in any case he will have to stick to the number chosen (ibd. I, 36, 15; 37, 4). In the warm season he puts off his worn out clothes and goes, as the case may be, either as *santar’uttara*, as *oma-celiya* or simply with the *sāḍa*, a cloth worn about the loins (ibd. I 36, 1, etc.). The *therakappiya* monk, finally, is bound to wear also the *cola-paṭṭa* (Viy. 374b; Ohaṇijj. 721f.) which conceals his genitals.—The nun wears the *samghāḍi* of which she has four in all (K. 3, 16) to be worn on various occasions (Ācār. II 176, 5, comp. SBE 22, 157²), and all of different width (Āyār. II 96, 6; Ṭhāṇ. 186b). She is well secured by means of 11 pieces of clothing listed by Ohaṇijj. 676f. (comp. Sādh. 23-36), while in older texts only some of them are referred to. They comprise 1. the boat-shaped bandage *oggaha-ṇantaga* and 2. the *oggahaṇa-paṭṭaga* covering it (see also K. 3, 11 f.), 3. the two *addho’ruga*, loin cloths, 4. the *calaṇiyā* a length of cloth reaching down to her knees, 5. the *abhintarā* and 6. the *bāhirā niyaṃsaṇiyā*, the former reaching down to the middle of her thighs and the latter going about her loins to be tied up, 7. the unsewn *kancuya* for covering her breasts, 8. the *okacchiyā* covering her breasts and her back on her right side and fastened by a button on her left, 9. the *vekacchiyā* which covers the two preceding pieces, 10. the above mentioned four *samghāḍi* measuring from 2 to 4 *hasta* in length, and 11. the *khandhakaraṇi* to cover the shoulders held by means of the *khujjakaraṇi*.—A wollen cloth which may be worn by either sex, is the *kambala* (Dasav. 6, 20: 8, 17).
