Bhagavai 7:9:176-177
2. Put on steel armour
sannaddha-baddha-vammiyakavae—sannāha and varma are synonymous words standing for armour. For a warrior protected by armour, the terms saņnaddha, baddha and varmita have been used. 3. Put on leather band on his wrist
uppīliyasarasanapatție---here, utpidita means tightly bound. Saräsanapattikā means the leather band bound on the wrist for protection against the hit of the string of the bow. 4. Put protective armour on his neck
piņaddhagevejja—the Vrtti explains graiveyaka as the ornament of the neck.' But it needs scrutiny.
savvālankāravibhūsie-adorned himself with all kinds of ornaments; here, adorning with ornament is implied. This is followed by the description of being equipped with an armour for the war. Binding a neck armour and affixing the emblem of warrior all read together. Therefore, the appropriate meaning of graiveyaka is an armour for the protection of the neck. As there are separate armours for the protection of the head, the bowels, the feet, the arms and the body, so for the protection of the neck there is an armour called graiveyaka. 5. Equipped himself with manual weapons and missiles
vimalavarabaddhacimdhapatte gahiyāuhappaharņe-cihnapatta (cimdhapatta) is the emblem that identified the warrior. In grhītāyudhapraharana (gahiyāuhappaharane), gahiya means taken up or equipped with, äyudha means sword etc. that are manually operated, praharana means arrows, missiles, etc..
