Vada Nihnaravāda
:279 dead to a capable person?" He (i. e. Sivabhati), who was previously asked by the preceptor ( to renounce the woollen shawl) and whose mind was perturbed with passion as his ( costly) shawl was cut (into pieces) without his consent, says that “ many faults such as passion, fear, attachment etc. (arise) from parigraha (possession of property ). That is why even in Scriptures, the doctrine of a-parigrahatva (renunciation of all worldly objects ) has been preached, the Tirthankaras (have moved about) without clothes, and they themselves have preached the Jinakalpa. Thus, one who has overcome the distress of naked condition, is (called). an ascetic, and since he would put on a garment at three places (i. e. on account of three reasons viz. out of shame, out of censure, and out of distress ! but not in solitude, it is, therefore, better to remain in the state of being without garments. (2553-2557)

D. C. An ascetic could be called " jitācela parisan" only if he has abandoned clothes. As regards wearing clothes on account of three reasons, the āgamas say that
" Tihim thanehim vattham dharijja hirivattiyam, dugamchavattiyam, parisahavattiyam.
[One should put on garment at three places : where shame, censure and torture ( are counted ).
