S. B. DEO on a place carefully inspected, and which contained no living beings, for instance, a heap of ashes or of bones.104
Numerous other details are available in the Niryuktis and the Brhatkalpabhāşya. The Oghaniryukti105 gives a complete list of as many as eleven clothes to be worn by the nun and the BỊhatkalpabhāşya 106 also confirms the same number.
Out of the eleven clothes, six were worn on the lower part of the body and five on the upper part of the body.
Clothes Worn on the Lower Half of the Body: 107 (1) Uggahanantaga:
It was so worn as to cover the private parts of the body. It was broad in the middle and thin at the ends. A smooth piece of cloth was used for this purpose (ghanamasiņa). This piece was like the shape of a boat (nāvānibho).108
(2) Patta:
It was meant to cover the waist and was tied by fasteners. The breadth of the piece was four fingers, or it varied according to the size of the body. It covered the 'uggahanantaga' and resembled the shorts used by wrestlers (chāyantoggahaņantagam, kadibandho mallakacchā vā).109
(3) Addhoruga:
It covered both the above two pieces of clothes (dovi genhiüm chāyaë kadivibhāgam). It covered the entire waist and was fastened on both sides over the breast.110
(4) Calaņā:
It was upto the knees (jāņupamāṇā) and resembled the piece of cloth worn by the 'lankhiyas' (or the people who perform gymnastics on the pieces of bamboos), and was unsewn (asīviyā).111
