ANALYSIS OF THE DULVA, 



Leaf 185. Here ends the subject " on the garbs or garments of the 

 religious persons" ( Gos-kyi-Gzhi,) and follows that " on mats and spreading 

 cloths" (^Sra-HrJii/ang.) 



Leaf 186. Several religious persons after having passed the three 

 months of the summer at Saketana (Tib. Gnas-Vtclias ), go to Shrdvasti 

 to pay their respects to Shakya, who had summered there. They went 

 thither much tired on account of the jangal, morasses, and great heat on 

 their road, and were covered with dust. The use of Sra-^xkyang (any cloth
