three garments

• The three regulation garments of a monk, kaṣāya 袈裟, i.e. 僧伽梨 saṃghāṭī, assembly robe; uttarā saṃghāṭī 鬱多羅僧, upper garment worn over the antarvāsaka 安陀會, vest or shirt. One of the seven possessions of a monk 七事隨身. (Skt. trai-cīvarika; Tib. chos gos gsum pa; Pāli ti-cīvara) [resp. cmuller; source(s): Soothill, Hirakawa, YBh-Ind, Yokoi, Iwanami]
• Three types of kesa Sōtō monks are supposed to receive upon ordination: (1) the five-panel robe 五條衣, a.k.a. 安陀會, (Skt. antarvāsa), (2) seven-panel robe 七條衣, a.k.a. uttarâsaṃgha robe 欝多羅僧, and (3) nine-panel robe 九條衣, a.k.a. saṃghāṭī 僧伽梨 robe 僧伽梨. These three types of robes are symbolically represented by the three types of kaṣāyas that Sōtō monks receive today, but the latter do not have the same shapes or practical functions as the original Indian robes they are named after. [resp. Griffith Foulk]
• trois habits [resp. Paul Swanson]
