About the dress we hear of now (ahaya) and costly (sumahaggaha) clothes.106 We read that Mahavira was clad in a pan of robes (pattajuyala) so light that the smallest breath would carry them away, thcy wcrc manufactured in a famous city, praised by clever artists, soft as the fume of horses, embroidered with golden thrcad by skilful artists and oinumented with designs of ficmingoes (hamsalakkhana).107
People wore two pieces of cloth, the upper garment and the lower garment. The former (uttara) is described as bcautiful with swinging pearl pendants; it was one piece of cloth (egasäiliya).103 Sewing was known. The needle and thread (sursuttaga) 109 are mentioned. The monks were allowed to sew the pieces of cloth.10
THE JAIN MONKS AND THEIR DRESS As we have seen Pārsvanatha allowed an under and upper garment (santaruttara) for the ascctics.111 A monk was allowed to wcai three robes, 112 two lincn (ksaumika) under garments (onacela) and onc woolen (aur nika) upper garment.13 The monks who could not go about nakcd were permitted to wear hatibandha (also called aggoyara) in order to cover theii privities This piece of cloth was four fingers bioad and onc hand long.114 Later on it was icplaced by colapattaka. Like the Buddhists dyed garments were prohibited to the Jam monks as well as wc have seen before. The Jain monks also weic piohibited from wearing the garments with fringes (dasa). It is ordained that thcy should put on undivided garment in the country of Thūnā, but its fringes must be removed. 116
