## The Third Requisite
[179] A garment that is rare in a particular region is called **Kshetra-Kritsna**. A garment made in one country is often valuable and rare in another country. A garment that is expensive in a particular time period is called **Kala-Kritsna**. For example, during the summer, cotton, silk, and other thin garments are valuable, while during the winter, thick woolen garments are valuable, and during the rainy season, colorful garments become valuable.
There are two types of **Bhaava-Kritsna**: **Varna-Yuta** and **Mulyayuta**. **Varna-Yuta** garments have five variations, such as black, blue, etc. **Mulyayuta** garments are also of three types: **Jghanya**, **Madhyama**, and **Utkrisht**. Where the price of a garment is low, it is **Jghanya**, and where the price of the same garment is high, it is **Utkrisht**. A garment that is available everywhere at the same price is called **Madhyama**. Alternatively, a garment that evokes attachment is called **Bhaava-Kritsna**, meaning a beautiful garment with excessive shine and splendor.
All four types of **Kritsna** garments are unsuitable for monks or nuns to keep or wear. Commenting on the disadvantages of keeping or wearing them, the commentator has said that carrying extra garments during travel is burdensome. Thieves or robbers can steal fine, valuable garments, or any unruly person can snatch them. When entering another state, customs officials may demand taxes or confiscate the garments. A lay person, seeing such garments near a monk, may feel disgust or contempt.
For these reasons, all four types of **Kritsna** garments are not suitable for monks and nuns. However, they should wear garments that are inexpensive or in appropriate quantity, readily available in all regions and times, and not valuable in terms of attachment.
