Somasen Bhattaraka Composed-
When one wears a blue or red cloth on their body, they will surely reside in Yama's city, having become a worm in the bodies of living beings. || 28 ||
Meaning- They will become a worm in the bodies of living beings after death. There are many types of descriptions, some are repulsive, which make living beings disgusted by foreign substances. Some are terrifying. Here, this description seems terrifying. This shows the fear of not wearing blue or red clothes. The essence of this is that such clothes are harmful, therefore, one should not wear such clothes. || 28 ||
In silk cloth and pattu sutra, there is no harm in blue. Women should always avoid wearing clothes and should also avoid wearing other people's clothes. || 29 ||
It is said- Eating another's food, wearing another's clothes, sleeping on another's bed, having intercourse with another's wife, and living in another's house, even Indra's glory is destroyed. || 30 ||
What more can be said, eating another's food, wearing another's clothes, sleeping on another's bed, having intercourse with another's wife, and living in another's house, even Indra's glory is destroyed, that is, by doing these things, even Indra, who is very powerful, loses his glory, let alone others. || 30 ||
Unwashed, washed by a Shudra, or washed the previous day, these three types of clothes are not fit to be worn. Therefore, do not perform any actions while wearing such clothes. || 31 ||
Clothes washed by a woman, washed by a Shudra, washed by servants, washed by ignorant children, are said to be unwashed. || 32 ||
