[769] "Itch-covering cloth (kaṇḍupaṭicchādī)" means: for one who has an affliction below the navel and above the circle of the knees — an itch (kaṇḍu), or pustules (piḷakā), or a running discharge (assāva), or thick-scab disease (thullakacchā)¹ — [a cloth] for the purpose of covering that.
"Having it made" means: making it himself or causing it to be made. It is to be made according to the [proper] measure. Herein this is the measure: in length, four spans of the Sugata-span (sugatavidatthi); across, two spans.
If he makes it or has it made exceeding that [measure], in the effort there is an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa); upon obtaining it, having cut it down, the pācittiya offense should be confessed.
