The sacred thread Of the Brahmans Ia
well known. 1t is a caste distinction
assumed at an early age and never
parted with. 1t must be made by a
Brahman and should consist of three
strands, each of a different color, for
ty-eight yards In length. doubled and
twisted together twice, the ends tied
in knots. 1t must be worn next the
skin, over the left shoulder, hanging
down to the thigh ON the right side.
The three castles of the HindoOs are
distinguished by the material of these
threads-cotton for the Brahmans,
hemp for the warriors and wool for the
artisans. The Parsees also wear the
sacred thread, and boys of seven or
nine are invested with 1t, the threads
used being made always of fbers of
the suru tree. Monier Williams de-
scribes the sacred girdle of the Par
sees as made of seventy-two wooden
threads, forming a fat band, which IL
twined three times around the body
and tied in two peculiar knots, the Sc
