.XXIII. 111] THE COSTUMES AND MAKE-UP 427

105. The beards of religious mendicants (liṅgin)^1 ministers, priests and persons who are indifferent to sensual pleasure^2 or have consecrated themselves for any ritual^3 should be made [clean] shaven.

106-107. The beards of celestial males such as the Siddhas^1 and the Vidyādharas^2, kings, princes, officers of the king and persons who are foppish and proud of their youth^3, should be made smartly done (vicitra) by the producers of plays.

108. The beard of persons who could not fulfil their promises, are sorry and miserable on that account or have been struck with any calamity, should be made black (śyāma).

109. The beard of sages, ascetics and persons observing a long-standing vow, and of those who are bent on revenge^1 should be made bushy (romaśa).

Rules for different Costumes

110. Thus the beard should be made of different kinds. I shall now speak of costumes suited to different occasions^1.

111. Drapery suited to different ways of painting limbs^1 may be of many kinds ; but generally it is of three varieties : white, red and variegated (vicitra)^2.

109 (C.112; K.XXI. 98b-99a). ^1 C. reads 109b as सिद्धविद्याधराणां च रोमशस्तु विधीयते which seems to be wrong. See above 106 where Siddhas and Vidyādharas have been taken as clean shaven.

110 (C.113; K.99b-100a). ^1 C. repeats here 10.

111 (C.115). ^1 See above 85ff. ^2 K. omits this.
