428 THE NATYASASTRA [ XXIII. 112.

  1. Costumes are of three kinds : white, variegated and soiled (malina). I shall now explain their difference according to their use by producers.

113-114. In going to the temple of gods, observing some auspicious rite or a vow or at the conjunction of some Tithis and stars (nakṣatra) or at the time of marriage¹ or any other sacramental rite, men and women should have white costumes and the same is the rule for a trader (prāpaṇika)².

  1. Costumes of gods, the Dānavas, the Yakṣas, the Gandharvas, the Nāgas, the Rākṣasas, kings, and people of foppish nature¹ should be variegated (citra = vicitra).

116-117. Costumes of Kañcukins (armour-bearer), ministers, leaders of army, priests, the Siddhas, the Vidyādharas, merchants, adepts in Śāstras, Brahmins, Kṣatriyas, Vaiśyas and kings' officers (sthānīya)¹ should be made white in a dramatic production.

  1. Costumes of lunatics, intoxicated persons, wayfarers and persons struck with calamity should be made soiled (malina).¹

  2. Costumes and decorations of the sages, the Jain (Nirgrantha) and the Buddhist (Śākya) monks, the Tridaṇḍis¹ and Brahmins well-versed in the Vedas (śrotriya) should be made according to their respective sectarian rules.

  3. Costumes of the wandering ascetics (parivrāj), great sages and other ascetics should be made, whenever necessary, with dark red (kāṣāya) cloth¹.
