Vāsas is the most usual word in the Rigveda[१] and later[२] for ‘clothing.’ Clothes were often woven of sheep's wool (cf. Ūrṇā); the god Pūṣan is called a ‘weaver of garments’ (vāsevāya)[३] because of his connexion with the fashioning of forms. The garments worn were often embroidered (cf. Peśas), and the Maruts are described as wearing mantles adorned with gold.[४] When the ‘giver of garments’ (vāso-dā)[५] is mentioned along with the giver of horses and gold, ornamental garments are probably meant. There are several references in the Rigveda[६] to the Indians' love of ornament, which is attested by Megas- thenes for his day.[७] The Rigveda also presents epithets like su-vasana[८] and su-rabhi,[९] implying that garments were becoming or well-fitting.
The Vedic Indian seems often to have worn three garments-an undergarment (cf. Nīvi),[१०] a garment,[११] and an overgarment (cf. Adhīvāsa),[१२] which was presumably a mantle, and for which the names Atka and Drāpi also seem to be used. This accords with the description of the sacrificial garments given in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa,[१३] which comprise a Tārpya, perhaps a ‘silken undergarment’; secondly, a garment of undyed wool, and then a mantle, while the ends of the turban, after being tied behind the neck, are brought forward and tucked away in front. The last point would hardly accord with the usual practice in ordinary life, but seems to be a special sacrificial ritual act. A similar sort of garments in the case of women appears to be alluded to in the Atharvaveda[१४] and the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa.[१५] There is nothing to show exactly what differences there were between male and female costume, nor what was exactly the nature of the clothes in either case.
It is important to note that the Vedic Indian evidently assumed that all civilized persons other than inspired Munis would wear clothing of some sort.[१६]
See also Vasana, Vastra, Otu, Tantu. For the use of skin garments, see Mala.
Vāsas.--In the Taittirīya Saṃhitā (ii. 2, 11, 4) upādhāyyapūrvaya, as an epithet of Vāsas, appears to denote ‘fringed (citrānta) according to Āpastamba Śrauta Sūtra, xix. 20, 2.
