________________ 258 DOCTRINE OF THE JAINAS Ācār 251a). A young monk of a strong physical constitution will content himself with one only (Ayār II 96, 4) and an older one may confine himself to two, but in any casc he will have to stick to the number chosen (ibd I, 36, 15; 37,4). In the warm season he puts off his worn out clothes and goes, as the case may be, either as santar’uttara, as oma-celiya or simply with the sāda, a cloth worn about the loins (ibd I 36, 1, ctc.). The therakappiya monk, finally, is bound to wcar also the cola-palta (V1y 374b, Ohanij 7217 ) which conccals his genitals. The nun wears thc samghādi of which she has four in all (K. 3, 16) to be worn on various occasions (Ācār. II 176, 5, comp. SBE 22, 157%), and all of diffcrcnt width (Āyār II 96, 6, Thân 186b) She is well secured by means of 11 pieces of clothing listed by Ohanijj 676f. (comp. Sädh. 23-36), while in older texts only some of them arc rcferred to. They comprise 1. the boat-shaped bandagc oggahal-nanlaga and 2 the oggahanapattaga covering it (see also K 3, 11 f.), 3 the two addho’ruga, loin cloths, 4 the calanırā a length of cloth reaching down to her knees, 5. the abbhularā and 6 the bāhırā niyamsanızā, the former reaching down to the iniddle of her thighs and the latter going about her loins to be tied up, 7. the unsewn hancuya for covering her breasts, 8. the olacchiya covering her breasts and her back on her right side and fastened by a button on her left, 9 the vekacchiyā which covers the two prcccding pieces, 10 the above mentioned four samghādi measuring from 2 to 4 hasta in length, and 11 the hhandhakarani to cover the shoulders held by means of the khujjaharani -A wollen cloth which may be worn by either sex, is thc hambala (Dasav. 6, 20 8,17). $144 The alms-bowl is called Padıggahā (ga)? or pāya, two names which are mutually exclusives.3 In thc zina-kappa there is but one (Ohanıy. 679) as is for a young strong pionh (Āyār II 102, 3). Where (as in the thera-h.) we have two, the other one is called maltaga, and Ācār. 368a shows 1. Simplified form of oggahana nanlaga also in sıhhaga-1 Nis 1, 13 2 Sht frcquently patad-graha, but Pht never padaggaha 3. Comp Āyār II, 102, 1-103, 22 and 103, 23 ff (26 -hagam Mss ) along with Nis 14 and variants
