Their garments are red like dhātu (? metal), Some keep a tuft of hair, some a matted one and some have their heads shaven. All of them use a hide of a dear for their seat. They take meals at the Brāhmanas and eat only five morsels and mutter & prayer consisting of twelve letters. They keep a wooden mouth-peice called "bita' in Mbh, and a cloth to filter. They ask their devotees to use one for a similar purpose.
